Types Of Spine Injections In Mumbai

Epidural Injections
The epidural injections involve injecting analgesic, anti-inflammatory, or steroidial injections on an affected nerve in the epidural space. The instant pain relief from 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 administered in conjunction with specific diagnostic tests that determine the specific nerve root causing pain. These injections are given in multiple areas of spinal compression and aim to relieve pain.
Medial branch block injections
A median 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, which is the pain generator.
Facet Joint Injection
Facet joint injections are anti-inflammatory and analgesic medicines given directly on the arthritic facet causing pain.
Sacroiliac Injection
SI joint injections are given to joints located between the ileum(pelvic bones) and sacrum. They work similar to joint facet injections and improve pain in the buttocks, legs, and lower back.
