Fluoroscopic Guided Injections
Fluoroscopic guidance allows our specialists to precisely target specific areas of the spine or joints using real-time X-ray imaging. This advanced technique enhances the accuracy and effectiveness of therapeutic injections, which can provide pain relief for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.
Is this Right for Me?
Patients experiencing neck, back, or joint pain due to conditions like herniated discs, facet joint inflammation, or osteoarthritis may benefit from fluoroscopic guided injections. After a comprehensive evaluation, including advanced imaging like MRI and X-rays, our experts determine if this minimally invasive treatment is appropriate.
Procedure
Using the live X-ray guidance of a fluoroscope, our specialists are able to carefully inject anti-inflammatory medications or numbing agents directly into the targeted area of the spine or joint. This precise placement helps maximize the effectiveness of the injection while minimizing the risk of complications.
Recovery
Fluoroscopic guided injections are typically well-tolerated outpatient procedures. Patients may experience some temporary soreness or bruising at the injection site, but can often resume normal activities within a day or two. Our team monitors each patient's progress and provides guidance on any necessary follow-up care.
