Abstract

HYPOTHESIS: Facet joints have been implicated in a variety of painful lumbar conditions. The prevalence of pain believed to originate with the facet joint in subacute and LBP patients is approximately 15%. Pain may be associated with joint rigidity acquired after prolonged splinting. The goal of the present study was to investigate the utility of corticosteroid facet injections, as an adjunct to stretching exercises, in helping patients regain lumbar mobility in cases of deconditioning-induced lumbar segmental rigidity (SR) after chronic disabling work-related lumbar spinal disorder (CDWRLSD) injuries.
