Back pain caused by arthritis or degeneration of the spine can make daily activities difficult. At SD Clinic, KPJ Kajang, Malaysia, Dr. Sashi offers the Facet Joint Block, a targeted treatment that relieves inflammation and pain in the small joints of the spine.
The facet joints are small joints located at the back of the spine that provide stability and movement. With age or arthritis, these joints can become inflamed and painful.
A Facet Joint Block involves injecting a mixture of local anesthetic and steroid medication directly into the affected facet joint to reduce inflammation and block pain signals.
At SD Clinic, KPJ Kajang, Dr. Sashi performs facet joint injections under image guidance for accuracy and safety.
Procedure steps:
The patient is positioned comfortably on the treatment table.
The skin is sterilized and local anesthesia is applied.
Using fluoroscopy (X-ray), a fine needle is guided into the facet joint.
Medication (anesthetic + steroid) is injected.
Patients are monitored briefly before being discharged.
If you are experiencing chronic back pain due to arthritis or spinal degeneration, a Facet Joint Block may be the right solution. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Sashi at SD Clinic, KPJ Kajang, Malaysia, to discuss your condition and treatment options.
