Facet Joint Injections

Suffering from joint pain or inflammation in the neck and back? Relief is readily available. The facet joints located in the spine connect the backbones, providing movement and flexibility. These joints possess cartilage and a fluid-filled capsule to ensure smooth motion, similar to the knee or hip joints. However, in the event of damage, severe pain known as Facet Syndrome can occur. This condition may be caused by injury, overuse, or inflammation. In such cases, facet joint injections are highly recommended, especially for patients with spinal arthritis or those who have suffered whiplash injuries in the neck or lower back, such as from a car accident or fall.
