If you have been injured in an accident or simply have chronic back or neck pain, you are not alone. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), two-thirds of the population deals with back pain at some point in their lives. With locations in Chaska, Crystal, Delano, and Maple Grove, MN, iSpine Pain Physicians use innovative injection treatments to provide pain relief for many types of injuries.

Most types of injections utilize either a local anesthetic (e.g.: lidocaine) or anti-inflammatory medication (e.g.: corticosteroid). Depending on the type of pain and injury a patient has, their back pain specialists will create an individualized treatment plan to meet your unique medical needs.

  • Peripheral Nerve Injections: According to Spine-Health.com, if the source of your neck pain or back pain is due to an affected nerve, this type of injection will help block the pain's signal to the brain. An anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medication is injected into the nerve to provide short-term pain relief.
  • Image Guided Joint Injections: Spinal pain is very common, but often difficult to treat due to the pain being caused by overlapping factors, according to the NCBI. The image-guided technique employed by the back pain specialists at iSpine gets to the exact source of the pain with its needle-placement precision.
  • Trigger Point Injections (TPI): Trigger points occur when knots form in the muscles and will not relax. TPIs alleviate pain by rendering the trigger point inactive with an injection of anesthetic and steroids. Multiple trigger points can be treated in one visit and the procedure typically takes just a few minutes.

Living with chronic pain decreases your quality of life, but through chronic pain management, you can feel more like yourself again.
