Frequently Asked Questions

Facet joints are features of your spine that connect vertebral bones. They facilitate movement and add a layer of protection. But they also bear a significant amount of weight and are prone to injury. Each facet joint features an abundance of spinal nerves, so any degeneration may lead to significant back pain, especially in your lumbar region. In some instances, this discomfort is acute, but chronic pain is an ever-present possibility.

Facet joint injections are non-surgical pain treatment options often used in combination with other techniques such as chiropractic manipulations, physical therapy, and medication. They involve delivering pain-relieving medication directly to the spine to reduce discomfort. The doctors at Greater Maryland Pain Management utilize fluoroscopy – a sophisticated imaging technique – to target specific facet joints in the spine and ensure precise injections. We will safely inject revitalizing medications into the irritated joints. The entire procedure typically takes no more than 15 minutes and often provides immediate relief.

We offer several forms of injections to relieve back pain. Another one of our most common treatments is an epidural injection, which treats pain that starts in the spine but spreads to the arms and legs. Facet joint injections differ because we specifically target the facet joints rather than general areas along the spinal cord. This approach allows us to treat degenerative or arthritic conditions more effectively.

A range of ailments can occur due to facet joint degeneration, and injections provided by Greater Maryland Pain Management can effectively treat most of them. Whether due to age or injury, your facet joints may weaken and cause significant discomfort throughout your back. We recommend facet joint injections for patients suffering from:

Cervical Facet Joint Syndrome
Disc Degeneration
Ligament Strains
Lumbar Facet Joint Syndrome
Spinal Osteoarthritis
Thoracic Facet Joint Syndrome
