The facet joints, found on both sides of the back of the spine, can become painfully irritated or inflamed. A facet joint injection may help diagnose the source of a patient’s pain. It can also relieve pain and inflammation. Back or neck pain may disappear immediately after a successful injection because of the anesthetic that is administered. The injection can provide relief for a span ranging from several days to several months.
