Injections are an important part of modern pain management and are often used when medicines or physiotherapy alone are not enough to control pain. These procedures are performed by pain specialists under strict safety and guidance. The aim is to deliver medicines such as local anaesthetics or steroids directly to the nerves or joints that are causing pain, which provides faster and longer-lasting relief.
Epidural Steroid Injection is commonly used for patients who have back pain, leg pain, or sciatica due to disc problems or nerve irritation. In this procedure, a small amount of steroid medicine is injected around the spinal nerves. This reduces inflammation and swelling, helping patients feel relief from pain and numbness so they can return to their daily activities more comfortably.
Facet Joint Injection is used when pain is coming from the small joints of the spine. These joints can become inflamed due to arthritis, wear and tear, or injury. By carefully injecting medicine into these joints, pain is reduced, stiffness is relieved, and movement becomes easier. It is often very effective for chronic neck and back pain.
Lumbar Sympathetic Block is given to patients who suffer from nerve-related pain in the legs, often after an injury, surgery, or conditions like complex regional pain syndrome. The injection targets a group of nerves in the lower back called the sympathetic nerves. Blocking these nerves helps to reduce pain, improve circulation, and restore function in the affected limb.
Celiac Plexus Block is a specialized injection used to control severe abdominal pain, often seen in conditions such as chronic pancreatitis or abdominal cancers. By delivering medicine to the celiac plexus, which is a group of nerves in the upper abdomen, this treatment can provide significant relief and improve quality of life for patients with long-standing abdominal pain.
Stellate Ganglion Block is performed for patients who have pain in the face, head, neck, or upper limbs caused by nerve overactivity or poor circulation. The injection targets the stellate ganglion, a collection of nerves in the neck region. It helps reduce pain, improve blood flow, and is also sometimes used for certain conditions like post-traumatic pain or vascular problems.
These injection treatments are safe, minimally invasive, and performed under expert guidance. They provide targeted relief, reduce the need for long-term painkillers, and allow patients to regain mobility and comfort in their daily lives.
