Facet Injection

Facet joint injections are a safe, minimally invasive treatment used to relieve chronic back and neck pain caused by irritation, inflammation, or degeneration of the facet joints in the spine. These small joints, located between each vertebra, can become arthritic or worn over time, leading to stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility.
At Innovative Pain and Wellness, our specialists perform facet joint injections using advanced image-guided techniques to ensure precision and effectiveness. During the procedure, a carefully measured combination of local anesthetic and corticosteroid medication is injected directly into the affected joints. This targeted approach helps reduce inflammation, ease pain, and improve overall spinal function so patients can return to normal activities with greater comfort.
Facet joint injections may be recommended for patients with:
- Facet joint syndrome
- Spinal arthritis
- Degenerative disc disease
- Chronic back or neck pain that has not improved with conservative care
- Targeted pain relief delivered directly at the source of discomfort
- Improved mobility and function to support daily life and activity
- Minimally invasive procedure with little downtime or disruption
- Outpatient treatment that allows patients to return home the same day
If you are living with ongoing spine pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility, facet joint injections at Innovative Pain and Wellness may provide the relief you need to restore your quality of life. With convenient locations in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, and Deer Valley, our experienced team is committed to providing compassionate, individualized care that helps patients move more freely and live with less pain.

Facet joint syndrome occurs when the facet joints become inflamed or irritated, leading to localized pain in the neck, upper back, or lower back. Facet injections can help reduce inflammation and alleviate the associated pain.
Arthritis in the spine can affect the facet joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Facet injections can provide temporary relief by reducing inflammation and easing discomfort caused by spinal arthritis.
Degenerative disc disease often involves the breakdown of the discs between the vertebrae, which can place additional stress on the facet joints. Facet injections may help alleviate pain and inflammation associated with this condition.
Osteoarthritis can affect the facet joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. Facet injections can provide targeted relief by delivering anti-inflammatory medications directly to the affected joints.
Facet joint sprains or strains can occur due to trauma, injury, or repetitive movements. Facet injections can help reduce pain and inflammation, allowing for improved healing and recovery.
Spondylosis refers to the degenerative changes in the spine, including the facet joints. Facet injections can offer temporary relief from pain and inflammation associated with spondylosis.
