Facet joints are the small, hinge-like connections located between each vertebra that provide your spine with flexibility and stability. When these joints become inflamed due to arthritis, injury, or mechanical stress, they can cause localized aching, stiffness, and radiating discomfort. A Facet Joint Injection is a dual-purpose treatment: it acts as a diagnostic tool to confirm the exact source of your pain and a therapeutic solution to resolve it. By delivering a precise blend of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory corticosteroid directly into the joint capsule, we can significantly reduce swelling and provide immediate, soothing relief to the affected area.
Don’t let spinal stiffness limit your quality of life. Our expert team at Houston Spine & Joint specializes in image-guided injections to ensure maximum accuracy and patient comfort.
