Interventional pain treatment
Pain in the spine and joints can be treated quickly and lastingly with injections. Interventional pain treatment is often the key to success in the investigation and treatment of chronic back pain.
It is especially effective in the treatment of sciatica (back pain that radiates down the leg) resulting from a slipped disc or leg pain resulting form a constricted spinal cord. Chronic lower back and neck pain originating from worn vertebral joints also respond well to this treatment. This also applies to inflamed and irritated joints. Pain relievers (local anaesthetic) and cortisone-like medications are used. Treatment is also often possible with platelet-rich plasma therapy or hyaluronic acid products. To achieve the best effect, the injection is guided exactly to the site of the affected nerves or painful joint with the aid of radioscopy, or ultrasound for joints. The treatments can be repeated if required and are often supplemented with physiotherapy.
