Treatments Overview

There are several reasons why spinal injections may be recommended. For instance, if you’re experiencing pain that radiates from your arm into your hand, and an MRI reveals damage to multiple discs or joints in the neck, a targeted local anaesthetic injection around a single nerve can help determine whether that nerve is the source of the pain. If the injection provides relief, it confirms the diagnosis and can be repeated as needed. This approach not only helps manage discomfort but can also make it easier to continue other treatments such as physiotherapy.

Steroid injections are the most common type of spinal injection used to suppress inflammation and improve muscle function. They can reduce inflammation, allowing muscles to work again and providing pain relief long after the injections wear off. The original licencing of the medication did not include these techniques, but they have been used in this context for decades, with good results and a low side-effect profile.

If a patient has a steroid injection and gets a good result, but the pain returns after a few weeks, it is worth considering radio-frequency (RF) treatment. RF treatment is another needle technique that uses a radio-frequency probe to heat the tissue and kill off areas causing damage, or to pulse the treatment to assist healing. RF has been used for many years in the management of spinal pain and other related problems.
