Spine Pain Treatments

Spine pain treatment sounds scary we know, but don't worry we have qualified professionals who are here to guide you through it. We offer minimally invasive spine pain treatments, let's go through them now.

Facet Joint injections:

It sounds complicated, but it isn't!

Facet joint injections are used to relieve pain in the spine. These injections deliver medication directly into the facet joints, which are small joints located between each vertebra in your spine.

By reducing inflammation and providing pain relief, these injections can help improve your mobility and quality of life.
They are often used for patients suffering from chronic back or neck pain due to arthritis or injury.

Medial Branch Block:

Medial branch blocks are a procedure used to diagnose and relieve pain in the spine. These blocks involve injecting a small amount of anesthetic near the medial nerves, which transmit pain signals from the facet joints in your spine to your brain.

By temporarily numbing these nerves, medial branch blocks can help pinpoint the source of your pain and provide relief, improving your mobility and quality of life.

This treatment is often used for patients experiencing chronic back or neck pain.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a procedure used to reduce chronic pain. It works by using heat generated from radio waves to target specific nerves, interrupting their ability to send pain signals to the brain.

This treatment can provide long-lasting relief for patients suffering from back, neck, or joint pain, improving their comfort and quality of life. RFA is often used when other treatments, such as medications or injections, have not been effective.

Nerve root injections

Nerve root injections are designed to relieve pain caused by inflamed or irritated nerves in the spine.

During the procedure, a combination of anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication is injected near the affected nerve root. This helps reduce inflammation and alleviate pain, improving mobility and quality of life.

These are are often used for conditions such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis, providing targeted relief for back, neck, arm, or leg pain.

Epidurals

Epidurals relieve pain in the spine. The procedure consists of a combination of anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication injected into the epidural space around the spinal nerves.

This helps reduce inflammation and pain, providing relief for conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or sciatica.

Epidurals can improve your comfort and mobility, making it easier to manage chronic back or neck pain.
