Make an Appointment. Intraarticular Facet Joint Injections. When facet joints regularly found around the spine are inflamed, a facet joint injection is administered to relieve the irritation and diagnose where the patients pain is coming from. Once the skin and tissue above the facet joint is thoroughly numbed with local anesthetic, the physician will use a fluoroscope to insert a needle into the facet joint. The proper positioning of the needle is confirmed with the injection of contrast dye and a soothing and numbing combination of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory steroid is injected. If the pain in the facet joint is relieved upon administration of the medication,the physician will then infer that that particular facet joint is the cause of pain.
In regards to the facet joint injections they states that the accuracy of facet joint nerve blocks is strong in the diagnosis of lumbar and cervical facet joint pain. With a minimal amount of risks, facet joint injections are considered an appropriate non surgical treatment for many patients who suffer from back pain. The associated risks with this procedure involve misplacement of the needle, either advancing the needle too deeply or positioning it incorrectly.
