Image-Guided Spinal and Joint Injections at Capital Interventional Pain and Spine Center
At Capital Interventional Pain and Spine Center, we specialize in advanced pain management solutions, offering image-guided spinal and joint injections to provide targeted relief for patients suffering from chronic pain. These minimally invasive treatments precisely identify the cause of pain and administer exact medication straight to the afflicted location using modern imaging technology.
What Are Image-Guided Spinal and Joint Injections?
Image-guided spinal and joint injections involve real-time imaging techniques, such as X-ray or fluoroscopy, to guide the needle placement for injections. This accuracy guarantees that the medicine reaches the precise location where it is required, optimizing the treatment’s efficacy and reducing discomfort. Usually, these injections address disorders causing inflammation and joint or spine pain.
Conditions Treated with Image-Guided Injections
Our image-guided spine and joint injections help a variety of pain-related disorders, including:
- Herniated or Bulging Discs
- Spinal Stenosis
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Facet Joint Arthritis
- Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
- Knee, Hip, Shoulder, and Elbow Pain
- Tendonitis or Bursitis
- Radiculopathy (nerve pain)
These injections provide targeted relief by reducing inflammation, alleviating nerve pressure, and improving joint function.
The Procedure
During an image-guided spinal or joint injection, the area of pain is first located using real-time imaging, such as fluoroscopy or ultrasound. This allows our highly skilled specialists to place the needle in the exact location accurately. Once the needle is positioned, a combination of anti-inflammatory medications, such as corticosteroids and sometimes anesthetics, is injected directly into the affected area to provide immediate and long-lasting pain relief.
Usually rapid, minimally invasive, and outpatient, you can resume regular activities soon after treatment.
