Injections

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) involves heating a part of a pain-transmitting nerve to prevent the nerve from sending pain signals to the brain.

Potential risks of a radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedure include nerve and tissue damage in the areas adjacent to the RFA needle.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed at a doctor’s office or a hospital. Pain relief after RFA is typically experienced 1 to 3 weeks after the injection.

A medial branch nerve block can help relieve pain from facet joint nerves, but there are risks, possible complications, and other positive and negative factors with the injection.

A sacroiliac (SI) joint injection is used to diagnose and treat pain stemming from the SI joint. These injections may be given around the joint or within the joint.

Sacroiliac (SI) joint injections are a minimally invasive procedure to relieve lower back pain and improve joint function.

SI joint injections take less than 30 minutes to complete and may provide immediate pain relief in appropriately selected patients.

SI joint injections may produce transient side effects. The high success rates of SI joint injections make them a key treatment for lower back pain management.

A selective nerve root block injection reduces inflammation and numbs the pain transmitted by the nerve.
