FAQs
Get the facts on Spine Injections
What are Spine Injections?
Spine injections are targeted treatments where anti-inflammatory medication is delivered directly into or around the spine to reduce pain and swelling caused by spinal conditions.
How do Spine Injections work?
The injection—often a combination of steroid and anaesthetic—is placed precisely under image guidance (like X-ray or ultrasound) to relieve inflammation and calm irritated nerves.
What conditions can they treat?
Spine injections are used for conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and facet joint syndrome.
How long does the relief last?
Pain relief can begin within a few days and last from weeks to months. Some patients may require repeat injections as part of a comprehensive pain management plan.
Are there different types of spine injections?
Yes—these include epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, nerve root blocks, and sacroiliac joint injections, each targeting specific areas.
Am I a good candidate for Spine Injections?
If conservative treatments (like physiotherapy or medication) haven’t provided relief, and your condition is confirmed by imaging, you may benefit from spine injections.
Can the injections be repeated?
Yes, they can be safely repeated under medical supervision, but there is usually a limit to the number of injections allowed per year.
Will I need to stay in the hospital?
No, spine injections are typically performed as outpatient procedures—you can usually go home the same day.
