Therapeutic Injections for Quick and Lasting Pain Relief
A neurological disorder or an orthopedic condition can be excruciating and challenging. Therapeutic joint injections are designed to provide immediate relief following the injections, as well as slow-release treatment. Our treatment targets the root cause of pain in the neck, back, joints, and nerves, helping you move freely and live comfortably.
Epidural Injections
Epidural injections are an effective treatment for people experiencing lower back and leg pain. It involves administering anti-inflammatory medicine, such as a corticosteroid, to the epidural space surrounding the spinal nerves. The injected drug travels to the pain source, providing quick relief and reducing inflammation of the irritated nerve.
Facet Joint Injections
Facet Joint Injection is administered for a specific type of neck or back pain that stems from a spinal joint. The joint injection has a local anesthetic and a steroidal corticosteroid medication injected into the suspected facet joint. The anesthetic provides immediate relief while the corticosteroid reduces inflammation and provides long-term relief from discomfort.
Selective Nerve Root Block Injections
Selective Nerve Root Block Injections are targeted injections that deliver anti-inflammatory steroids and local anesthesia directly to specific spinal nerve roots, serving as both a diagnostic tool to pinpoint the pain source and a therapeutic treatment to reduce inflammation and provide weeks to months of pain relief. The procedure can be performed in the neck, upper back, and lower back.
Sacroiliac Injections
The sacroiliac or SI joint is located on both sides of the spine and connects the bottom of the spine to the pelvis. Any irritation or inflammation in these joints can cause pain in the lower back, abdomen, groin, buttocks, or legs. Sacroiliac Injection also has a combination of local anesthetic and steroid to diagnose and alleviate pain.
How Do Therapeutic Injections Work
Therapeutic Injection therapy is a relatively painless, safe, and quick procedure that takes up to 30 minutes. Patients can go home the same day.
Here’s what a therapeutic injection service looks like at Dr. G Medical Solutions.
- During the appointment, we’ll review your medical history and learn about the unsuccessful treatments you’ve undergone. This allows us to determine which injection is best suited to your needs and to identify any allergies and the required doses.
- The next step is to identify the best injection location. We may use ultrasound, X-ray, and other scans for precision, especially for deep or small areas.
- Our doctor will sterilize the area and insert the fine needle into the target area. We use imaging to ensure the needle is in the exact spot.
- When everything is set, we slowly inject the therapeutic injection in the joint to provide immediate relief and medication.
Most patients can walk on their own immediately following treatment and resume full activity shortly after. So, take your time and start moving when you are back to normal.
