The practice utilizes various spinal injections to treat back pain. The most common spinal injections performed are epidural steroid injections (interlaminar, transforaminal, caudal), facet injections (also known as medial branch blocks), radiofrequency ablation procedures (RFA), and lumbar punctures (spinal tap). All of these procedures are done under fluoro-guidance to visualize the spine. In certain cases the practice offers sedation if the patient cannot tolerate the procedure without it.
Like any procedure, there is always the risk of bleeding, infection, nerve or spinal cord damage, but these are very low. A specific risk with spinal injections is spinal headache which is rare, but the practice always monitors for that after the procedure and during our post-procedure calls. The practice will discuss with the patient any additional risks involved, especially if performed under sedation.
