Medical Branch Blocks
A medical branch block, also known as a nerve block, is a medical procedure where an anesthetic is injected near the medial nerves that are connected to a facet joint.
PRP Injections
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated form of plasma protein derived from whole blood that has been centrifuged to remove red blood cells.
Epidural Steroid Injection
The injection of corticosteroids and a local anesthetic into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord is called an epidural steroid injection (ESI). This technique is used to improve spinal stenosis, spinal disc herniation, or both, and has a low incidence of major side effects.
Facet Joint Injections
Facet joint injections are a common treatment option for relieving symptoms associated with Facet syndrome. This outpatient procedure allows patients to return home on the same day and typically lasts between 10 to 20 minutes. However, if the patient requires an IV for relaxation, the procedure may take up to 30 minutes.
Intra-Articular Joint Injection
The Intra-Articular Injection is a medical technique employed to treat inflammatory joint conditions. During the procedure, a hypodermic needle is used to inject the affected joint with a dose of anti-inflammatory agents, commonly corticosteroids, among others. In some cases, hyaluronic acid is utilized due to its high viscosity to substitute bursa fluids. Additionally, the procedure may be used to extract surplus fluid from the joint.
Sacroiliac Joint Injections
The usual purpose of performing a sacroiliac joint injection is to alleviate chronic back pain that resulted from a sacroiliac joint injury or inflammation.
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger Point Injections are administered to alleviate discomfort in muscle regions where tight clusters of muscle fibers, known as trigger points, emerge as a result of muscle tension.
