The facet joint is a synovial joint between the superior articular process of one (lower) vertebra and the inferior articular process of the adjacent (higher) vertebra. Medication can be injected into the facet joint to help block pain or as a diagnostic tool to determine the cause of back pain. more at Wikipedia

Horrible experience. 18 injections in my lower spine hitting the nerves between the joints. So tramatic that I had to go home and sleep! It did nothing to relieve my pain.
