Facet Joint Pain and Treatment Options
Facet joints are small joints located throughout the spine that provide stability and allow controlled movement. When these joints become inflamed or arthritic, they can cause significant neck or back pain.
What Is Facet Joint Pain
Facet joint pain is often described as deep, aching discomfort that worsens with movement, twisting, or prolonged standing.
How Facet Joint Pain Is Treated
Treatment options may include:
- Image guided facet joint injections
- Nerve blocks
- Radiofrequency based treatments
These therapies aim to reduce inflammation and interrupt pain signals.
Who May Benefit
Facet joint treatments may help patients with chronic spine pain who have not responded to physical therapy or medications.
