Facet joints serve as the connecting link between the bones in the posterior or back part of the spine. These joints facilitate movements like twisting, flexing, and extension. Inflammation in these joints can give rise to pain. A facet joint injection entails the administration of medication directly into or adjacent to the facet joint. The medication typically consists of a long-lasting steroid and an anesthetic numbing agent. When delivered directly into the affected area, this combination of medication works to reduce joint inflammation and swelling. Generally, this procedure is recommended for individuals experiencing neck, arm, low back, or leg pain caused by facet joint inflammation, and who have not responded to other conservative treatments.
