Diagnostic Info & Pain Relief
Diagnostic Information & Pain Relief
Every patient is unique in the location and severity of his or her pain. Rather than apply a "cooke cutter" approach to your diagnosis and treatment, your physician will use selective diagnostic injections in addition to other necessary tests to make the most accurate diagnosis possible. Using specialized techniques they can then inject medications to "block" the pain from different areas to your spine giving diagnostic information about where your pain is coming from. Various areas of pain that can be localized include the spinal nerves, sacroiliac joint, facet joint, intervertebral disc, hip, shoulder or knee joints, as well as muscles and ligaments.
Pain Relief
Inflamation of spinal tissues is one of the most common causes of spinal pain. Relief of pain with spinal injections is largely achieved through the effect of potent anti-inflammatory medications placed at the source of your problem.
