Spinal Injections

Spinal Injections

Intradiscal Injection

This is an injection of medicine into a spinal disc. That's a soft cushion that allows the bones of your spine to flex and twist. An intradiscal injection helps your doctor find or treat your pain.


Epidural Steroid Injection (ESI) in the Cervical Spine

This injection treats the pain of an inflamed nerve in your cervical spine. It relieves nerve swelling. If you have a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or some other problem that's pressing on a nerve, it may help you.


Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection

This outpatient procedure involves the injection of a steroid-anesthetic medication through an opening in the sacrum. The medication can reduce swelling and inflammation in irritated spinal nerves. The injection takes only a few minutes to complete.


Costovertebral Joint Injection

This outpatient procedure involves an injection of pain-relieving medication into one or more costovertebral joints. These are the joints that form the connections between the ribs and the vertebrae.


Facet Joint Injections

The facet joints, found on both sides of the back of the spine, can become painfully irritated or inflamed. A facet joint injection may help diagnose the source of a patient's pain. It can also relieve pain and inflammation.

Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection

This injection procedure is performed to relieve low back and radiating leg pain. Steroid medication can reduce the swelling and inflammation caused by spinal conditions.

Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection

This outpatient procedure involves an injection of a steroid-anesthetic medication. The medication can reduce swelling and inflammation in irritated spinal nerves. This procedure is performed to relieve pain in the lower back and pain that radiates from the back to the legs. The injection takes only a few minutes to complete.

Sacroiliac Joint Steroid Injection

This injection procedure is performed to relieve pain caused by arthritis in the sacroiliac joint, where the spine and hip bones meet. The steroid medication can reduce swelling and inflammation in the joint.
