Types Of Spine Injections In Delhi
The spinal injections are of the following types:
Epidural Injections
An epidural injection involves injecting analgesic, anti-inflammatory, or steroidal injections into an affected nerve in the epidural space. The instant pain relief from the injection helps determine the exact pain-causing nerve, and the injection reduces inflammation and resolves pain as a result.
Specific Nerve Root Block Injections
Specific nerve root block injections are given along with specific diagnostic tests that figure out which nerve root is causing the pain. These injections are given in multiple areas of spinal compression and aim to relieve pain.
Medial branch block injections
A medial branch block injection is a local anesthetic injection given onto the medial branch nerves; the nerves transmit pain signals from a facet joint. They can help find the exact facet joint spot that is the pain generator.
Facet Joint Injection
Facet joint injections are anti-inflammatory and pain-killing drugs that are put directly into the painful arthritic facet.
Sacroiliac Injection
SI joint injections are given to joints located between the ileum(pelvic bones) and sacrum. They work like joint facet injections and improve pain in the buttocks, legs, and lower back.
Note: Most spinal injections are administered under x-ray supervision for relieving pain in exactly the same spot.
