Reduce inflammation and joint pain caused by arthritis, bursitis and other painful inflammatory diseases with Bursa injections.
Back pain can transform everyday activities into challenging ordeals, leaving you searching for relief beyond traditional medications and physical therapy. When conservative treatments haven’t provided adequate relief, spinal injections offer a minimally invasive approach to managing chronic back pain and helping you reclaim your quality of life.
Oasis Medical Group provides comprehensive injection therapies for back pain across New Jersey, utilizing advanced techniques to target pain at its source. Our team of pain management physicians combines years of experience with cutting-edge technology to deliver precise, effective treatments tailored to each patient’s unique condition and needs.
Back pain injections serve different purposes depending on your specific condition and the source of your discomfort. These targeted treatments deliver medication directly to the affected area, providing more effective relief than oral medications while minimizing systemic side effects.
Epidural steroid injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication into the epidural space surrounding your spinal cord and nerve roots. This treatment proves particularly effective for pain radiating down your legs from conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis. The medication reduces inflammation around compressed nerves, providing relief lasting from weeks to several months.
Facet joints connect the vertebrae in your spine and can become inflamed due to arthritis, injury, or degenerative changes. Facet joint injections combine local anesthetic with corticosteroid medication to reduce inflammation and provide diagnostic information about the pain source. Many patients experience significant improvement in their ability to bend, twist, and perform daily activities following these injections.
Nerve block injections interrupt pain signals traveling from specific nerves to your brain, providing both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits. By injecting anesthetic medication around targeted nerves, physicians can identify the exact source of your pain while providing immediate relief. These injections prove particularly effective for conditions like complex regional pain syndrome, post-surgical pain, and severe nerve-related back pain. Depending on the type of nerve block used, relief can last from hours to several months, and repeated treatments may provide cumulative benefits.
Your physician may recommend injection therapy when conservative treatments haven’t provided adequate relief or when pain significantly impacts your daily activities. Common conditions treated with spinal injections include:
According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, epidural steroid injections can provide significant pain relief for up to 50% of patients with certain types of back pain. The decision to proceed with injection therapy depends on your specific diagnosis, previous treatment responses, and overall health status.
Understanding the injection process helps reduce anxiety and ensures you’re properly prepared for your treatment. Our team prioritizes patient comfort and safety throughout every step of the procedure.
Before your injection, you’ll undergo a comprehensive evaluation including review of your medical history, imaging studies, and current medications. Your physician will explain the procedure, discuss potential benefits and risks, and answer any questions. You may need to temporarily stop certain medications, particularly blood thinners, before the procedure.
Most spinal injections take 15 to 30 minutes and are performed on an outpatient basis. You’ll lie on an examination table while your physician uses fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray guidance) to ensure precise needle placement. After cleaning and numbing the injection site, your physician will carefully guide the needle to the target area and inject the medication. Many patients report feeling pressure but minimal discomfort during the procedure.
Following your injection, you’ll rest in a recovery area for monitoring before going home. Some patients experience immediate pain relief from the local anesthetic, though the full anti-inflammatory effects typically develop over several days. Your physician will provide specific post-procedure instructions, including activity modifications and signs to watch for. Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours.
