| Facet Joint Injections |
It is not uncommon for specific joints to cause debilitating pain, either due to
acute injuries or chronic arthritis. As a pain-alleviating treatment to delay
eventual surgery or to augment physical therapy, injections of local
anesthetic and steroid may be performed into or around specific joints.
Common joints include the shoulder, knee and hip. These injections are
performed in the office under fluoroscopy for accuracy and safety purpose.
