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.

A hip joint injection may be beneficial for patients suffering from leg, hip, buttock or lower back pain that results from arthritis or injury to the joint.

Lumbar epidural steroid injections work by inhibiting chemicals, proteins, and nerve signals that contribute to pain.

Several conditions often indicate a need for lumbar epidural steroid injections, including lumbar disc herniations and degenerative disc disease.

Injections relieve neck and back pain by delivering medications directly to the affected area, reducing inflammation.

Different lumbar epidural steroid injection treatment techniques can have positive outcomes in treating sciatica pain.

Medial branch blocks are minimally invasive outpatient procedures that involve injecting a pain-relieving medication around the medial branch nerve.

Medial branch nerve blocks are used to diagnose and plan further treatments for pain originating from spinal facet joints.

Prolotherapy risks include pain, soreness, or numbness in the injection site which are usually self-limiting.

Prolotherapy alleviates chronic back pain by promoting natural healing of ligaments and tendons.

Radiofrequency ablation involves creating a heat lesion on a pain-transmitting nerve to prevent the nerve from sending pain signals to the brain.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) involves heating a part of a pain-transmitting nerve to prevent the nerve from sending pain signals to the brain.

Potential risks of a radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedure include nerve and tissue damage in the areas adjacent to the RFA needle.

RFA, a minimally invasive pain relief procedure, allows a swift return to daily activities with reduced discomfort during recovery.

The side effects of medial branch blocks are usually minor and temporary, involving injection site soreness and mild bruising. Serious adverse events are rare.

Sacroiliac (SI) joint injections alleviate pain by delivering medication directly to the SI joint, aiding diagnosis and treatment.

Sacroiliac (SI) joint injections are a minimally invasive procedure to relieve lower back pain and improve joint function.

SI joint injections take less than 30 minutes to complete and may provide immediate pain relief in appropriately selected patients.

SI joint injections may produce transient side effects. The high success rates of SI joint injections make them a key treatment for lower back pain management.

Selective nerve root block injections target specific nerve roots to alleviate pain, aiding in diagnosing and treating spine issues.

Prolotherapy is a treatment for chronic back pain, promoting healing of ligaments and tendons.
