Diagnosis and treatment for this neck pain can be accomplished by injecting the specific joint or blocking the nerve that supplies the joint with numbing medicine. This is conducted under an x-ray machine with a very small needle. Temporary neck pain relief confirms the diagnosis. Usually substantial pain relief can be obtained from injection therapy.
Arthritis of the spine is an inevitable part of aging. Low back arthritis pain (facet arthritis) accounts for 15-40% of low back pain. The pain is often worsened by twisting the back, stretching and bending. Facet joints are designed to allow movement between each vertebrae. Pain from the facet joints is primarily noticed in the low back.
The epidural space is the area between the Dura (covering of the spinal cord) and ligaments that connect the vertebrae. Injecting steroid into this area can help symptoms associated with spinal stenosis, spondylolysis, disc degeneration or disc herniation. The epidural injection delivers a long-lasting steroid and an anesthetic agent to the irritated and inflamed area or nerve.

Lumbar discography helps your physician identify a specific disk that may be causing your pain. It also gives additional information about the anatomy of the intervertebral disks. This procedure is often considered when back pain has not responded to more conservative care. The procedure involves placing a small needle into the middle portion of the disks in question.
