Injections are very useful
in the treatment of back pain and other soft tissue injuries.
The purpose of an injection is to promote healing and initiate
a cure, not just to block the pain. The most common types of
injections for the treatment of back pain include:
Epidural Steroid
Injections
The epidural injection has been used for over 40 years as treatment for back
pain. It involves injecting steroids or anesthetic agents into the epidural space,
providing excellent benefits with minimal risks.
Facet Joint Injections
Steroid is injected into the facet joint in the back to eliminate or reduce pain.
Sacroiliac Joint
Injections
The SI joint is injected to reduce pain from inflammation. Prolotherapy can also
be performed in this joint.
Botox Injections
When considering neurotoxin therapy, it is important to understand
how the product works, the history of its use in patients,
its protein content, and possible
side effects. This information will help you understand more about BOTOX®:
what it is, how it works, and how it can help you.
Trigger Point
Injections
Trigger point injections are sometimes given for neck pain, headaches, and low
back pain to treat muscle spasm and other soft tissue problems.
