Facet Joint Injections
Facet joints are small bony protrusions located between and behind adjacent vertebrae that help with spinal range of motion and stability. When arthritis or facet joint syndrome develops, these joints become inflamed and painful.The physician injects a combination of local anesthetic and corticosteroid directly into the targeted facet joints. Immediate pain relief from the local anesthetic typically lasts several hours.Steroid effects develop gradually over approximately two weeks for longer-lasting relief. Common temporary side effects include nausea, dizziness, or injection site pain, generally resolving within days.
After Your Procedure
Following the procedure, patients will be closely monitored by our staff before being discharged home with care instructions. Immediate pain relief from the local anesthetic may last a few hours.If steroid medication is used, more substantial pain relief typically develops over approximately two weeks. Common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, or discomfort at the injection site, though most resolve within several days.Patients should contact their physician immediately if any complications develop. Your care team will schedule follow-up appointments to evaluate your response and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
