Facet Joint Injection
The facet joints are located between the vertebrae; there are two facet joints between each pair of vertebrae. The facet joints provide stability while allowing the spine the ability to bend and twist.
With wear and tear and with normal aging, the facet joints can become painful.
A facet joint injection involves placing a local anesthetic (numbing medication) with a steroid (anti- inflammatory) into a facet joint of the spine.
