Lumbar Facet Joint Injection
A corticosteroid (anti-inflammatory medication) is injected into one or more facet joints to reduce inflammation and pain. The injection may be performed to diagnose and potentially treat facet generated pain. The injection might temporarily lessen the pain and help the patient move better. In such circumstance, the physician will know which facet joints are causing pain and treat them accordingly. At, Spine Physicians Institute, we have seen such condition and performed the lumbar facet joint injection many times.
