What Are Precision Injections?

Precision injections are one of the modern therapeutic techniques used to deliver medication directly to the exact site of pain or inflammation within the nervous system or the spine.

They are performed using ultra-fine needles under advanced imaging guidance, such as a CT scan or ultrasound, ensuring highly accurate delivery to the targeted area.

Uses of Precision Injections

• Nerve root injections for treating disc herniation pain radiating to the limbs.
• Facet and joint injections to reduce inflammation and relieve chronic pain.
• Epidural injections around the spinal cord to manage lower back and neck pain.

Benefits of Precision Injections

• Performed under local anesthesia with no need for surgery.
• The patient returns to normal daily activities quickly with minimal downtime.
• Reduces the need for long-term painkiller use.
• Minimizes side effects associated with traditional oral medications.

Compared to Traditional Solutions

• Medication: Provides temporary relief and may cause stomach or liver side effects with long-term use.
• Major surgery: Effective in selected cases but requires general anesthesia, a longer recovery period, and carries potential risks.
• Precision injections: A balanced solution, less invasive than surgery and more effective than relying on medications alone.
