Injection therapy
Minimally invasive injection procedures are judiciously used in managing persistent pain conditions. Injections are used for diagnostic and therapeutic reasons.
In addition to pain relief, injections can enable engagement with exercise and physical rehabilitation. Injections can help to break the 'pain-spasm-more pain' cycle.
However, injections do carry risks. Your doctor will discuss with you the benefits, limitations and complications of the procedures.
Injections on their own are rarely a sustainable, long-term pain management strategy. Injections offered in isolation are never a good prospect for patients. It has to be part of a comprehensive biopyschosocial approach to facilitate rehabilitation.
