What is a Facet Joint Injection for Pain Treatment?<\/h2>\n

The spine is made up of vertebra separated by discs and connected by joints called facet joints. These joints guide movement and give us flexibility. As much as 75-90% of back and neck pain originates from the spinal facet joints. Injury, inflammation or degeneration of these joints can produce back, neck, arm or leg pain and headaches.<\/h4>\n

Facet injections target the facet joints. Depending on your treatment plan, steroids may be used to decrease inflammation and relieve pain quickly, but other medications can be used to ease chronic pain and stimulate healing.<\/h4>\n

<\/br><\/p>\n

How Is the Facet Joint Injection Performed?<\/h2>\n

The injection procedure only takes a few minutes and is performed under a special x-ray called fluoroscopy. There is minimal discomfort as specially designed small needles are used. The patient can then drive home. These are not epidural injections and no narcotics are used. The injections often provide relief when other treatments, i. e. manual therapy, epidurals and back surgery have failed.<\/h4>\n

<\/br><\/p>\n

What Can I Expect?<\/h2>\n

Facet Joint Injections often provide lasting relief when other treatments, i. e. manual therapy, epidurals and back surgery have failed. Patient may feel some pain relief within a day.<\/h4>\n

<\/br><\/p>\n

Does My Insurance Cover Facet Injections?<\/h2>\n

Most major insurance plans cover facet joint injections, when medically necessary. Specific benefits, and prior-authorization requirements will depend on your insurance plan and benefits.<\/h4>\n
