Spinal Injection for Pain Relief. The purpose of a facet joint block (a type of spinal injection) is two-fold: reduce pain and identify the facet joint generating pain and symptoms. Different spinal disorders can cause facet joint inflammation, pain, and stiffness. Pain may spread, or radiate, into other parts of the body. For example, a cervical facet joint can cause neck pain to spread downward into an upper shoulder or arm. When pain spreads, it is called a radiculopathy.
Cute things often come in small packages, and the corgi is no exception. There are two kinds of corgis: the Cardigan Welsh and the Pembroke Welsh. The biggest physical difference between them is that the Cardigan has a tail, whereas the Pembroke has a little stump or no tail at all. Both types of corgis are mini low-riders with long, sturdy bodies set atop short, little legs. Corgis are medium-sized dogs weighing between 25 and 35 pounds and reaching a maximum height of 12 inches.

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi descends from a crossbreeding of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi with either the Schipperke and Pomeranian or the Swedish Vallhund, which travelled to Wales with the Vikings. It is the smallest herding breed.he Pembroke Welsh Corgi is an energetic dog that bonds quickly with its family. It is brave, intelligent, alert, and self-confident. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is slightly less aggressive and less boisterous than the Cardigan Welsh Corgi.
