- Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection
-
–
steroid
solutions and very dilute local anesthetics are injected in the
epidural space in the cervical or the neck area of the spine. More
Info.
- Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection
-
–
steroid
solutions mixed with very dilute local anesthetics are injected into
the epidural space in the lumbar area of the spine. More
Info.
- Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection
-
–
steroid solutions mixed with saline and/or local anesthetics are
injected into the epidural space in the caudal or the lowest area of
the spine. More
Info.
- Nerve Root Injection
-
–
steroid solutions are being injected in the vicinity or near the
spinal nerve root. More
Info.
- Myelogram
-
–
contrast material or x-ray dye is injected into the cerebral spinal
fluid which is the fluid surrounding the spinal cord and nerve roots
following which x-rays are made to determine the anatomy of the
structures. Once contrast
material or x-ray dye is injected the anatomy or shapes of the
structures can easily be seen. More
Info.
- Epidurograms
-
–
contrast material/x-ray dye is injected into the epidural space under
x-ray control and x-ray films are made.
This is to determine anatomy and abnormality of the spinal
structures i.e. scarring of spinal nerve roots. More
Info.
- Discography
-
–
contrast is injected into the discs of the spin and their structure or
any abnormality present is detected under x-ray control.
Also painful discs are detected most accurately with this
technique. More Info.
- Sacroiliac Joint
Injections
-
–
local anesthetic and steroid solutions are injected into the
sacroiliac joint itself and joint space as well as near the nerves
intervening the capsule of the joint. More
Info.
- Nerve Blocks
-
-
are injections of local anesthetic and possibly steroids into the
vicinity of a nerve intervening a muscle or a structure in the
treatment of pain syndromes produced by a pathologic or abnormal
nerve. More Info.
- IDET
-
-
Intradiscal Electro-Thermal Therapy is a new technique for treating
painful, fractured, or minimally herniated but not extruded lumbar
spinal discs. More Info.
- Laser
Discectomy
-
-
this is a technique where laser is used to vaporize the nucleus
pulposus or the soft central part of a spinal disc which herniates out
of the annulus fibrous or the tuff fibrous part of the disc. More
Info.
- Inrathecal
Infusion Pumps
-
–
use other pump which can be programmable to infuse narcotics and pain
relieving medications directly into the fluid surrounding the spinal
cord or the epidural space. More
Info.
- Botulinum
Toxin (BO TOX ) injections
-
- - injection of affected
and abnormally spastic
- muscles with Botulinum
Toxin for relief of
-
-
-
- injection of new type B Botulinum Toxin
-
for abnormally spastic muscles causing pain or other
unwanted/abnormal sympatoms. More
