Spine Injections

 

Injections are the first line of treatment for many spinal pathologies.

Injections are useful for both diagnosing and treating spinal conditions.

Epidural Injections

 

Medication is injected into the epidural space, which is the space around the spinal nerves.

Both a numbing medication and a steroid (cortisone) are injected.

Epidural injections are used to diagnose and treat pain caused by pressure on the nerves.

Injections may fix the problem, or they may only work temporarily
