The Spine & Sports Health Center Accepting Patients Interested in Receiving Facet Joint Injections

 

Hoboken, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/02/2017 -- The Spine & Sports Health Center is pleased to announce that they accept patients interested in receiving facet joint injections. For the past several years, the medical practice has been offering advanced neck and back pain treatments to patients at their offices in Bayonne, Jersey City, and Hoboken, NJ. In fact, facet joint injections are just one of the many highly effective, non-surgical procedures that The Spine & Sports Health Center provides.

A facet joint injection, which involves injecting a damaged or inflamed facet joint with a steroid and anesthetic solution, is a common procedure that physicians perform on patients looking for immediate, sufficient relief from back and/or neck pain. Additionally, any patient who is taking part in a physical therapy program to rehabilitate an injury or back condition, can undergo this procedure, as well. It will only help the patient get the most out of the program.

Patients who receive facet joint injections should expect the procedure to last anywhere from 15-30 minutes. The patient may be given a sedative, if necessary. Next, the doctor will clean the area on the patient's skin where the injection will take place, and then the area will be numbed. Once the patient is numbed, the physician will use fluoroscopy (a form of real-time X-ray) to insert a needle into the facet joint, and confirm if the needle is in the correct place with a dye. If the needle is in the correct place, the patient will receive the injection. Once the procedure is complete, the patient can leave after a brief period of observation and rest.

The purpose of a face joint injection is to offer immediate pain relief, but unfortunately the effects are only temporary. Patients can expect relief for anywhere from several weeks to several months. At this point, it may be optimal to speak with the physician about receiving another facet joint injection or trying an alternative form of treatment.
