Small interventions can make a big difference.
Interventional treatments and surgeries should only be considered after osteopathic therapies, physical therapy, and other non-invasive measures have been exhausted.
That said, epidurals and other injections targeting your specific issues and areas are minimally invasive and very effective for treating pain. They work in tandem with our wellness program to restore function and improve ease of movement.

What to expect
There are many different kinds of injections, including epidurals, nerve blocks, facet or sacroiliac joint injections, and more. Your provider will make a recommendation for an injection based on your history, physical exam, X-rays, and MRIs.
If you are scheduled for an injection, there are some steps you will need to take in advance. Your pain management physician will review these steps together, with you, ahead of your appointment to make sure you are all set for your procedure, including making sure you have a ride home.
