Facet Injections
Facet injections or blocks are administered to patients who are experiencing pain on either side of the vertebrae in their spine. Each vertebrae in a person’s back and neck have flat surfaces that touch where the vertebrae fit together. These are called facet joints. These joints can become inflamed and cause pain. During a facet block, medication is injected into these joints to reduce inflammation and swelling, thereby, relieving pain.
