Facet Injections for Neck and Back Pain Relief

Facet joint pain is a common reason people struggle with chronic neck or back pain. It often comes from inflammation or wear-and-tear in the small joints along the spine. At Midwest Vascular and Pain Specialists, we offer facet injections which is a on-surgical treatment that can ease pain and help you move more freely again with no pain.

"I am delighted by the results. I limped into the office in a great deal of pain which I endured for months. After a few weeks of pain management, I was back to my swift walking. My last appointment recommended suggestions for maintenance and coming back if necessary. Great experience and friendly staff!"
