Spine Interventions

Spine interventions are targeted, minimally invasive procedures that deliver medication or controlled heat to painful muscles, joints, and nerves in the spine to reduce pain and improve movement. Together, treatments like trigger point injections, facet and SI joint injections, medial branch blocks, and radiofrequency ablation can help pinpoint the source of your pain and provide longer-lasting relief without surgery.

  • The Medial Branch Block is done by injecting a numbing agent onto the medial branch nerves. This is meant to TEMPORARILY numb the nerve, which should “shut off” pain signals to the brain.

  • If you are living with chronic, unmanageable pain from facet syndrome or spinal arthritis, these therapeutic approaches offer both a quick resolution and long-term relief. Pain stemming from the facet joints is termed “facet syndrome.” The facet joints become inflamed and may cause pain, soreness and stiffness.

  • SI Joint injections can be used to diagnose and treat low back pain that is believed to be caused by irritation and inflammation of an SI joint. When the joint becomes painful, it can cause pain in its immediate region or it can refer pain into your groin, abdomen, hip, buttock or leg.

  • Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a non-surgical, outpatient procedure used to treat pain resulting from arthritis of the Facet Joints. This is done by using radio-frequency energy to disrupt the nerve’s ability to send pain signals to the brain; therefore giving you a feeling of relief.

  • An Epidural Steroid Injection (ESI) is an injection of strong anti-inflammatory steroid (cortisone) is delivered to the outermost section of the spinal column, called the epidural space. The steroid injected can reduce inflammation of nerves in the epidural space and thus reducing pain and other symptoms.
