Thoracic Facet Injections (Steroid, PRP, Ozone)

Alleviate upper back pain with thoracic facet injections, featuring advanced treatments like PRP and ozone therapy.

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

Thoracic facet injections are a pain management treatment that involves injecting medications (steroids, PRP, or ozone) into the facet joints of the thoracic spine to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.

Treatment Description

This treatment targets the facet joints in the upper back, which can become inflamed due to injury, arthritis, or degeneration. The injections help reduce pain, inflammation, and improve mobility in the affected area.

What It Includes

The procedure includes injecting corticosteroids, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or ozone directly into the thoracic facet joints using imaging guidance to ensure precision. Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes.

Disorders treated

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

Thoracic facet injections are effective for treating conditions like thoracic facet joint syndrome, thoracic radiculopathy, upper back pain, thoracic arthritis, and inflammation or stiffness in the thoracic spine.

Thoracic Osteoarthritis
Reduces inflammation and pain in the thoracic facet joints, improving mobility and reducing discomfort associated with degenerative changes.
Thoracic Facet Joint Dysfunction
Alleviates pain and restores movement in the thoracic spine caused by facet joint dysfunction or misalignment.
Chronic Upper Back Pain
Provides targeted pain relief for persistent upper back pain by reducing inflammation and improving joint function in the thoracic region.
Spinal Stenosis
Eases symptoms of thoracic spinal stenosis by reducing nerve compression and promoting better spinal alignment.
Thoracic Radiculopathy
Relieves pain caused by nerve root compression in the thoracic spine, often radiating along the ribs, by reducing inflammation and nerve irritation.
Post-Surgical Pain
Helps manage pain after thoracic spine surgery, promoting recovery and reducing post-operative inflammation in the facet joints.
Whiplash and Traumatic Injuries
Alleviates upper back pain caused by whiplash or other trauma, targeting the facet joints of the thoracic spine to reduce pain and inflammation.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Upper Back Pain
Without thoracic facet injections, chronic pain in the upper back caused by joint inflammation may remain unresolved.
Reduced Range of Motion
Lack of treatment can lead to stiffness in the thoracic spine, limiting mobility and daily activities.
Increased Inflammation
Untreated inflammation in the facet joints may worsen over time, leading to more severe discomfort and impaired function.
Risk of Postural Issues
Persistent thoracic pain can result in compensatory posture changes, potentially causing additional strain on the neck and lower back.
Progression to Chronic Conditions
Failure to address joint inflammation can lead to long-term joint degeneration, requiring more invasive or surgical interventions in the future.
