Facet Joint Injections
What Are Facet Joint Injections?
CT-guided facet joint injections deliver medication—usually corticosteroids and local anaesthetic—directly into the facet joints of the spine. These small joints can become inflamed or arthritic, causing localized back or neck pain.
Advanced Imaging for Precise Injection
At Link Radiology, we use CT imaging to guide the needle with high accuracy into the targeted facet joint. This real-time imaging ensures safe and effective delivery of medication.
Your Safety and Comfort Come First
We use local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort during the procedure. Our experienced radiologists perform injections using sterile technique and monitor you carefully to ensure safety and comfort.
Effective Relief for Facet Joint Pain
Facet joint injections can significantly reduce inflammation and pain caused by arthritis, injury, or degeneration. They often form part of a comprehensive pain management plan including physical therapy.

FAQ
Facet Joint Injections
What are facet joints and why do they cause pain?
Facet joints connect the vertebrae in your spine and allow for movement. Inflammation or degeneration of these joints can cause significant neck or lower back pain.
How does the injection help?
The corticosteroid reduces inflammation in the facet joint, while the anaesthetic provides immediate short-term pain relief.
How long does it take?
The procedure usually takes around 20–30 minutes, with some additional time for observation afterward.
Is it painful?
You may feel some pressure or minor discomfort, but the area is numbed beforehand and the injection is performed with great care.
How long does pain relief last?
Some patients experience relief for weeks or even months. Repeat injections may be recommended depending on the severity of your condition.
Do I need a referral?
Yes, a valid referral from your GP or specialist is required.
