Minimally invasive spine injections are done when severe pain in the neck or back prevents someone from sleeping, working or exercising.
This pain can also begin to feel as if it is extending down the arm or leg because of a nerve being pinched by a "slipped disc".
Or it can be arthritis pain from the joints in the neck that allow you to turn your head from side to side.
These injections are always performed with the assistance of x-ray imaging so that we can be sure that the medication is delivered safely and where it will do the most good.
