Lumbar Facet Injections (Steroid, PRP, Ozone)

Experience effective relief for lower back pain with lumbar facet injections at CDL Rehabilitation.

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

Lumbar facet injections are a treatment for managing lower back pain that involves injecting steroids, PRP, or ozone into the facet joints in the lumbar spine to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.

Treatment Description

The procedure targets the facet joints in the lower back to treat pain, stiffness, and inflammation caused by arthritis, herniated discs, or degenerative disc disease. The injections help improve function and reduce chronic pain.

What It Includes

The treatment involves injecting corticosteroids, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or ozone into the lumbar facet joints under imaging guidance to ensure precise placement. Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes.

Disorders treated

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

Lumbar facet injections are effective for treating conditions like lumbar arthritis, lumbar radiculopathy, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, chronic lower back pain, and facet joint dysfunction.

Lumbar Osteoarthritis
Reduces pain and inflammation in the lumbar facet joints caused by degenerative changes, improving mobility and reducing discomfort.
Lumbar Disc Herniation
Eases symptoms of a herniated disc in the lower back by reducing inflammation around the nerve roots in the lumbar spine.
Facet Joint Syndrome
Alleviates pain and dysfunction in the lumbar spine caused by facet joint arthritis or misalignment, restoring normal movement and reducing pain.
Chronic Lower Back Pain
Provides targeted pain relief for persistent lower back pain, especially when related to facet joint inflammation or degeneration.
Sciatica
Reduces the pain caused by sciatic nerve compression in the lumbar spine by decreasing inflammation in the facet joints and alleviating pressure on the nerve.
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Helps relieve symptoms of spinal stenosis in the lumbar region, such as pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs, by reducing nerve root compression.
Post-Surgical Pain
Assists in recovery by reducing inflammation and promoting healing in the lumbar spine following surgery, improving function and reducing pain.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Lower Back Pain
Without lumbar facet injections, chronic lower back pain caused by joint dysfunction or inflammation may remain unresolved.
Limited Mobility
Untreated lumbar pain can lead to stiffness and restricted range of motion, hindering physical activities and daily tasks.
Increased Inflammation
Lack of treatment may result in worsening joint inflammation, causing further discomfort and difficulty in movement.
Nerve Impingement
Ongoing inflammation can increase pressure on nearby nerves, leading to symptoms like numbness, tingling, or radiating pain.
Development of Chronic Conditions
Delayed treatment can lead to long-term joint damage or degeneration, requiring more intensive and invasive procedures in the future.
