Targeted Relief and Precise Diagnosis for Chronic Pain

Facet Joint Block

A Facet Block is a procedure in which a needle is placed into the facet joint under imaging guidance for the injection of a local anesthetic or steriod. This selective nerve root block is a diagnostic test used to localize the source of the patient’s pain. It is also used to treat the symptoms arising from facet joint arthritis.
