What is Injection Therapy?
Injection therapy is a form of pain management in which a qualified pain physician utilizes corticosteroids and other injections to help relieve pain in a patient.
Sometimes injection therapy can be a cure in and of itself, other times it can be used as a diagnostic tool to understand what surgery needs to be performed. Injections can help relieve pain from the following injuries and conditions:
- Bulging spinal disc
- Herniated spinal disc
- Whiplash
- Fractured vertebrae
Depending on the specifics of your injury, injection therapy may help manage your pain. In order to fully treat your injury, a pain management or injection therapy specialist must diagnose your injury or condition and determine the correct course of treatment.
