Most backache related to facet joints can be treated successfully with a combination of exercise and improved posture. If your symptoms are very severe or difficult to treat you may need an injection. In this case, your doctor will inject a mixture of local anesthetic into your inflamed facet joint. The treatment may be given in the doctor’s surgery and it may be slightly painful.
