Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar Embed:

What it Treats

A facet joint injection is used to relieve pain that originates from the facet joints of the spine. This pain is often caused by arthritis, injury, or degenerative changes in the joints and can affect the neck, mid-back, or lower back.

How the Procedure Is Performed

The procedure is performed using X-ray or fluoroscopic guidance to accurately place a small needle into the affected facet joint. A mixture of steroid medication and local anesthetic is injected to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief

Dr. Barrett Johnston and his staff have been phenomenal in helping me manage my pain caused by a horrific car crash in May of 2016. Caring, empathetic, professional and kind hearted are the words that come to my mind to describe Dr. Johnston's entire team. I highly recommend him if you need help in managing any kind of pain.
Thanks Dr. Johnston!
