What are the risks of these procedures?

With any operation or injection procedure there are risks. In the case of these procedures, the risks are small. These procedures are performed on the posterior spine and are thus away from the neuroaxis (spinal cord, etc). This dramatically reduces the risk of serious problems.

Can you repeat a Z-joint?

Any of these procedures may be repeated. In general however, if the effect of a Z-joint injection wears off and the patient has adequately participated in a physical therapy program after the procedure, it is more reasonable to proceed with medial branch blocks and ultimately radiofrequency ablation.
