Facet Joint Injection
A facet joint injection is a minimally invasive procedure designed to diagnose and treat pain arising from the small joints located between the vertebrae of the spine. During the process, a physician uses live imaging, typically fluoroscopy (X-ray), to guide a needle precisely into the facet joint or the surrounding nerve tissue. A small amount of local anesthetic and a corticosteroid (anti-inflammatory medication) is then injected. The anesthetic provides immediate, short-term relief to help confirm the joint as the primary source of pain, while the steroid works to reduce inflammation and provide more sustained comfort over several weeks or months.

The Referral Process: Without a current, valid referral on file, your insurance company will likely deny coverage for the visit. We must have that referral documentation before your appointment is scheduled to ensure your visit is covered.
What to do next: Please call your PCP and request they send a referral to our clinic first. Once we receive and process the referral, we will contact you immediately to schedule your appointment.
