Botox injections may be recommended for some patients to help reduce certain conditions such as torticolis, myofascial pain syndrome and chronic muscle spasms. Typically a gradual relaxation of the muscle develops one to two weeks following the injection.

Commonly, facet joint injections are used to determine what may be causing back pain. If the injection eliminates pain temporarily, then it is very likely that that particular joint is causing your pain.
|
Prolotherapy involves the injection of a solution into an area where connective tissue has been weakened or damaged. A solution is injected into the joints in which causes the tissue to heal itself and strengthen.
|
Radiofrequency ablation is used to destroy nerves of the facet joints. Radiowaves generated produce heat which then destroys the nerves ability to transmit pain.
|
| Sacroiliac Joint Injection |
|
Sacroiliac (SI) joint injections are performed with fluoroscopic guidance. Injection of a local anesthetic confirms the specific joint as the source of the pain, while the steroid fuels the pain relief.
|
Trigger point injection (TPI) is used to treat painful areas of a muscle. A trigger point is a knot of muscle that forms when the muscle fails to relax. The knot often can be felt under the skin and may twitch involuntarily when touched.
