SPINAL INJECTIONS

When Would Spine Injections Be Required?

Most often, non- surgical interventional methods help to alleviate the pain arising from mechanical causes that typically cause sciatica and back pain. Back pain and sciatica are usually lifestyle issues and often settle on their own and often with the help of an allied health professional such as a physiotherapist or osteopath. However, it is essential to understand the cause of the pain before treating it. Back disorders very seldom require aggressive surgery. Intervention should be minimal and only when necessary.
