Living with persistent back or neck pain can feel isolating, but effective, personalized care is within reach at Aspire Spine & Headache Pain Center. Facet injections are a pain management treatment designed to reduce inflammation in the small joints of the spine. These joints, called facet joints, help stabilize the spine and control movement. When they become inflamed due to arthritis, injury, or general wear, they can cause persistent pain in the neck, middle back, or lower back. Pain management specialist Dr. Daljit Buttar delivers spinal facet joint injections with a mix of local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication directly into these joints to relieve discomfort. Many people find relief from facet block injections, allowing them to move more freely and participate in physical therapy or daily tasks with less pain. To find out if lumbar facet injection treatments are right for you, schedule a consultation at our Raleigh or Charlotte, NC practice.
