What Are Facet Joint Injections and How Do They Work?

Facet joint injections are a non-surgical treatment used to relieve pain originating from the small joints in the spine, known as facet joints. These joints connect the vertebrae and help support movement and stability in the neck and lower back.

When these joints become inflamed or irritated—often due to arthritis, injury, or wear and tear—they can cause persistent back pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Facet joint injections involve delivering anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected joints. This helps reduce inflammation, ease pain, and improve movement. By targeting the exact source of discomfort, the treatment provides focused relief and supports better spinal function.

Conditions Treated with Facet Joint Injections

Facet joint injections are used to treat a range of spine-related conditions that cause pain, stiffness, and restricted movement in the neck and lower back.

How Facet Joint Injections Work

Facet joint injections work by delivering anti-inflammatory medication directly into the small joints of the spine that are causing pain. These joints, known as facet joints, can become inflamed due to arthritis, injury, or everyday wear and tear.

By targeting the exact source of inflammation, the injection helps reduce pain, ease stiffness, and improve movement in the affected area of the spine.
