There’s several options when it comes to spinal injections!
When your back or neck problem is severe enough and has not responded to conservative measures, your doctor may recommend a spinal injection. Spinal injections are used in two ways: • To diagnose the source of back, leg, neck, or arm pain (diagnostic). • As a treatment to relieve pain (therapeutic). Most spinal injections are performed as one part of a more comprehensive treatment program. Simultaneous treatment nearly always includes an exercise program to improve or maintain spinal mobility (stretching exercises) and stability (strengthening exercises). Spinal injections are performed under X-ray guidance, called fluoroscopy, to confirm correct placement of the medication and improve safety.
