Spinal Injection Procedures

Spinal Injection Procedures

Spinal injection procedures are minimally invasive treatments used to relieve back or neck pain caused by nerve compression, inflammation, or degenerative spine conditions. These injections deliver targeted medication directly to the source of pain, helping reduce inflammation, ease discomfort, and improve mobility without the need for major surgery.

Symptoms That May Require Spinal Injections

Patients often seek spinal injections for persistent back or neck pain, radiating leg or arm pain, numbness, tingling, or stiffness that hasn’t improved with rest, medications, or physiotherapy. These injections are commonly recommended for conditions like slip disc, sciatica, spinal stenosis, or facet joint arthritis.

Types of Spinal Injections

Different injections are used depending on the condition and pain pattern. These include epidural steroid injections, nerve root blocks, facet joint injections, and sacroiliac joint injections. Each type is designed to reduce irritation around nerves or joints, offering both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits.

Treatment and Process

The procedure begins with a detailed evaluation and imaging to locate the source of pain. During the injection, a thin needle is guided into the targeted area using fluoroscopy or ultrasound for accuracy. Medication—usually a combination of a local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory steroid—is delivered precisely where relief is needed. Most patients experience reduced pain within a few days and can return to normal activities shortly after. These injections may also help delay or avoid the need for surgery when used as part of a structured treatment plan.
