Summit’s spine specialists diagnose back and neck problems and design custom treatment plans built on a conservative, nonsurgical approach. In some cases, we use specialized guided injections, which can provide several benefits:
- Injections can help to improve function for a variety of conditions, including sciatica, disc herniation, and facet joint arthritis.
- They can help to relieve pain by reducing inflammation, irritation, and swelling.
- In addition to treatment, injections can be used for diagnosis. An injection can help us to identify the cause of your neck or back pain, making the plan of treatment more focused and leading to a more effective outcome.
- By treating immediate pain, injections can also make it easier for you to participate in a physical therapy program designed to strengthen muscles and resolve the underlying cause of the pain.
The type of injection you receive will be based on your symptoms and physical examination. Here are some of the specialized injections we offer:
- Botox for Chronic Migraine
