Injection therapy

Irritated nerves of the cervical and the lumbar spine can be precisely treated by a computerized injection therapy. Depending on the entry, it is a periradicular therapy (PRT - entry directly besides the spine) or a epidural therapy (entry via the coccyx into the spinal channel).

The first step is to localized precisely the pain. For this purpose, a contrast medium is closely injected to the irritated root of the nerve. Then the exact postion for injecting the medication can be localized via computer tomography. Thus, the medication reaches the exact spot at the root of the nerve.

 

Indication:

• Inflammation of the root of the nerve at the cervical and the lumbar spine
• Persisting pain in the cervical or lumbar spine
• Scars with painful inflammed nerves from former spinal disk surgeries
• Radiating pain as sciatica and shoulder-arm-disorders

Evaluation:

The precondition for this successfull pain treatment is an exact diagnosis.

 

A second treatment is very rarely necessary.

 

A complementary physiotherapeutic treatment under the supervision of the doctor in charge is very important.

 

Easy labor can be started soon after the treatment in consultation with your doctor. Also sport should be started just after consulting the doctor.

Advantage:

It is a low on risk, minimal-invasive treatment with a local anesthesia, which means, a complete anesthesia with all its risks is not needed.

 

The vicious circle of pain can be mostly stopped by its fast relief.
