Injection Therapy at Capital Interventional Pain and Spine Center

What is Injection Therapy?
Injection therapy involves the use of specialized needles to deliver medication directly into the area causing pain. These injections can reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and relieve long-lasting pain. By targeting the specific source of pain, injection therapy is an effective alternative to oral medications or invasive surgeries.
Types of Injection Therapies We Offer
1. Epidural Injections
Back, neck, or leg discomfort brought on by disorders, including ruptured discs or spinal stenosis, can be treated with epidural steroid injections. This surgery significantly lessens pain by delivering drugs straight into the epidural area around spinal nerves, therefore lowering inflammation.
2. Medil Branch Blocks
Medial branch blocks target the small nerves that supply the facet joints in the spine. These injections can be part of a therapy plan or utilized for diagnostic reasons to reduce spine degenerative changes or arthritis-related pain.
3. Radi Frequency Ablation
Using radiofrequency radiation, a minimally invasive procedure known as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) burns and kills nerve tissue in charge of generating pain signals. RFA can offer long-lasting relief for patients with chronic back or neck pain, particularly those suffering from facet joint pain.
4. Facet Joint Injections
Anesthetic and corticosteroid injections for facet joints in the spine are combined directly into the facet joints. These injections help reduce inflammation and joint pain, improving mobility and comfort for patients with facet joint arthritis.
5. Sacroiliac Joint Injections
Sacroiliac joint injections effectively treat lower back and pelvic pain originating from the sacroiliac joint. By delivering anti-inflammatory medication directly into the joint, these injections help reduce pain and improve mobility.
6. Sho older Joint/Rotator Cuff Injections
Shoulder joint and rotator cuff injections can help alleviate pain caused by arthritis, tendonitis, or other shoulder conditions. These injections deliver corticosteroids and anesthetics to reduce inflammation and relieve shoulder-related pain.
7. Knee Injections
Corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid knee injections assist in relieving knee discomfort brought on by tendinitis, injury, or osteoarthritis. These injections reduce inflammation, promote healing, and lubricate the joint, improving mobility and function.
8. Elbow Injections
Elbow injections, such as corticosteroid or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections, can help reduce pain caused by conditions like tennis elbow or bursitis. These injections target the inflamed areas to reduce pain and promote healing.
9. Hip Injections
Hip injections are commonly used for patients who have arthritis, bursitis, or other hip joint issues. By injecting corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid into the hip joint, these injections help reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and provide long-lasting relief.
10. Coccyx (Tailbone) Injections
Coccyx injections relieve pain in the tailbone area, which can be caused by trauma, inflammation, or degenerative conditions. For people with coccygodynia—tailbone pain—these injections are a pretty successful course of treatment.
11. Sympathetic Nerv Blocks
Sympathetic nerve blocks treat pain caused by complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or neuropathic pain. These injections relieve and improve overall function by blocking the sympathetic nerves that transmit pain signals.
12. Foot and ankle Injections
Foot and ankle injections can treat pain associated with arthritis, tendonitis, or ligament injuries. By delivering painkillers straight to the afflicted location, these injections assist in lowering inflammation and increasing mobility.
Why Choose Injection Therapy?
- Precision: Injections deliver medication directly to the site of pain for targeted relief.
- Minimally Invasive: Injections are a non-surgical, outpatient option with little downtime.
- Effective Pain Relief: Injections provide significant relief, often offering long-term benefits with a single procedure.
- Reduced Dependence on Oral Medications: Injections can help reduce the need for oral pain medications, often with unwanted side effects.
What to Expect During Your Injection Treatment
Usually, the operation is short and least intrusive. Although most patients tolerate minor discomfort during the injection, you may find it unpleasant. Although you might feel soreness at the injection site following the injection, this usually passes soon. Many patients get relief in a few days and can resume their regular activities not too long afterward.
