Spinal injections are non-surgical treatments used to relieve pain and inflammation in the neck and lower back. These injections typically deliver corticosteroids and anesthetics directly into several pain-generating structures of the spine caused by conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease. Cervical injections address issues in the neck and upper spine, while lumbar injections focus on the lower back. The benefits include rapid pain relief, reduced inflammation, and improved mobility, often allowing patients to participate more effectively in physical therapy. These procedures are minimally invasive, performed on an outpatient basis, and involve no recovery time. For many patients, spinal injections can delay or even eliminate the need for surgery, making them an excellent option for managing chronic spinal pain. Additionally, an injection can also help Dr. Ramos accurately diagnose the source of pain by observing how the patient responds to the injection.
