Neck Pain Treatments

Facet joint blocks and Radiofrequency Nerve Ablations are minimally invasive ways to alleviate spine pain from arthritis and wear down. This procedure involves injecting a long-lasting anesthetic into the facet joints. It also serves as a diagnostic tool. If successful, radiofrequency nerve ablation may be recommended to desensitize nerve tissue and stop painful signals. 

Facet Joint Blocks and Radiofrequency Nerve Ablation are often suggested for patients dealing with: 

• Arthritis of the spine 
• Facet joint arthritis
• Neck pain
• Middle back pain 
• Lower back pain 

Epidural steroid injections are minimally invasive and highly effective for alleviating pain and inflammation associated with spinal conditions. They involve injecting corticosteroid medication and a local anesthetic into the epidural space surrounding spinal nerves, providing targeted relief for neck, back, arm, and leg pain.  

Epidural steroid injections are recommended for the following:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Spinal canal stenosis
• Degenerative disc disease
• Radiculopathy
• Sciatica
• Leg and arm pain
