Cervical Facet Injections (Steroid, PRP, Ozone)

Relieve neck pain with advanced cervical facet injections using steroid, PRP, or ozone therapies at CDL Rehabilitation in Miami.

What Cervical Facet Injections (Steroid, PRP, Ozone) Are

Cervical facet injections are a form of pain management that involves injecting steroids, PRP, or ozone into the facet joints of the cervical spine to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

Treatment Description

This treatment targets the cervical facet joints, which are the small joints located in the spine, to provide relief from pain and inflammation caused by conditions such as arthritis or disc herniation. The injections can improve mobility and reduce chronic pain.

What It Includes

The treatment includes the injection of corticosteroids, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or ozone into the affected facet joints under imaging guidance (typically fluoroscopy) to ensure accurate placement. Sessions may last 15-30 minutes.

Disorders treated

What Are Cervical Facet Injections (Steroid, PRP, Ozone) Used For?

Cervical facet injections are effective for treating conditions like cervical arthritis, cervical radiculopathy, neck pain, whiplash injuries, facet joint syndrome, and inflammation in the cervical spine.

Cervical Osteoarthritis
Reduces pain and inflammation in the facet joints of the cervical spine caused by degenerative changes.
Cervical Disc Herniation
Eases symptoms of disc herniation by reducing inflammation around the affected nerve roots in the cervical spine.
Facet Joint Dysfunction
Relieves pain and improves mobility in the cervical spine caused by facet joint dysfunction and inflammation.
Radiculopathy (Pinched Nerve)
Reduces nerve root compression in the cervical spine, relieving radiating pain, numbness, or tingling down the arm caused by nerve impingement.
Whiplash Injuries
Helps manage pain and inflammation from whiplash-related injuries by targeting facet joint dysfunction in the neck.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Neck Pain
Without cervical facet injections, chronic neck pain caused by inflammation or joint dysfunction may remain unresolved.
Reduced Mobility
Lack of treatment can result in stiffness and limited range of motion in the neck, affecting daily activities and overall functionality.
Increased Inflammation
Untreated facet joint inflammation can worsen over time, leading to more severe discomfort and difficulty with movement.
Risk of Nerve Compression
Failure to manage inflammation may contribute to nerve impingement, causing radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in the arms.
Progression to Chronic Conditions
Delayed treatment can lead to long-term joint damage, making it harder to manage pain and requiring more invasive procedures in the future.
