Injections

Basivertebral nerve ablation is done under sedation and uses a needle-like probe to heat a section of the nerve. Side effects are minor, and complications are rare.

Basivertebral nerve ablation is an outpatient procedure that provides significant long-term relief from chronic low back pain caused by damaged vertebral endplates.

Facet joint injections aim to diagnose and/or treat neck or back pain and improve spinal mobility by delivering medication directly into the spinal facet.

Epidural steroid injection is performed in the lower spine following a specific set of procedures. Certain post-injection precautions should be observed.

Success rates of epidural steroid injections for pain relief vary depending on a person's condition as well as the care and activities they perform afterwards.

Epidural steroid injections relieve pain by reducing inflammation and swelling around the spinal nerves, enhancing well-being.

Managing pain with lumbar epidural steroid injections can come with certain risks and side effects.

Temporary pain at the injection site and a few transient local side effects are common after facet injections. Serious complications are rare.

Facet injections are minimally invasive outpatient procedures. If the facet joints are the cause of pain, patients typically find relief soon after the injection.

Facet joint injections target the joint, while medial branch blocks focus on nerves carrying pain signals to the brain.
