Diagnostic Techniques
Lumbar Medial Branch Blocks
Connecting the bones of the spine, facet joints are located at the back of your spine to provide flexibility and stability.
Cervical Facet Joint Pain
Connecting the bones of the spine, facet joints are located at the back of your spine to provide flexibility and stability.
Facet Joint Injections
A facet joint injection is prescribed to treat pain in the back or neck.
C-12 Lateral Joint Injections
Osteoarthritic changes often occur in the C1-2 or atlanto-axial joint. These changes are a frequent cause of upper neck pain, stiffness and cervicogenic headaches.
Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ) Injections
To perform an SIJ injection, an anaesthetist provides light sedation, performed under x-ray guidance.
Genicular Nerve Block
A genicular nerve block is performed by applying local anaesthetic to the network of nerves surrounding the knee joint.
Occipital Nerve Block
An occipital nerve block is traditionally applied to manage occipital neuralgia.
Suprascapular Nerve Block
The suprascapular nerve relays pain from the shoulder joint, in addition to segments of the acromioclavicular joint and the rotator cuff.
Costotransverse Joint Injections
The costotransverse joints are located at the junction of the rib and the vertebrae of the thoracic spine.
Lateral Branch Blocks
To successfully diagnose sacroiliac joint pain, we temporarily block the nerves associated with sacroiliac joint discomfort with a local anaesthetic
Epidural Steroid Injections
Pain associated with irritation and/or compression of a nerve root, or spinal canal stenosis, are treated through epidural steroid injections.
