Spinal injections are minimally invasive procedures used to diagnose and treat back and neck pain. They help reduce inflammation, provide pain relief, and improve mobility for conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, and arthritis.
There are different types of spinal injections, including epidural steroid injections (ESI) for nerve inflammation, facet joint injections for arthritis-related pain, and nerve blocks to diagnose and treat specific nerve pain. The procedure is typically performed under fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance for precision and takes only a few minutes.Patients often experience pain relief within a few days, with effects lasting weeks or months.
