OVERVIEW OF SPINAL INJECTION TREATMENTS

Not only do they work rapidly, but they are minimally invasive and often less painful than alternative methods. Dr. John H. Peloza utilizes multiple, well-tested injection options to give his valued patients much-needed pain relief.
INJECTION TREATMENTS
EPIDURAL
Used for more than just labor and delivery, an epidural is a useful pain reliever for a wide variety of spinal issues, including sciatica and herniated discs. By decreasing inflammation in soft tissue, epidurals can provide much-needed relief when patients need it most.
FACET INJECTIONS
Applied directly to the facet joint, facet injections are particularly helpful to those who suffer from arthritis and other back pain issues. Facet injections are typically a steroid or some sort of local anesthetic and they work relatively quickly.
Dr. John H. Peloza, MD is here to help you start getting your back pain under control, so you can live a happier, more pain-free life. If you have any questions or are ready to schedule an appointment, contact us today!
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SPINAL INJECTIONS
You can expect pain relief from a spinal injection to last for between several days to a few months or longer. From a lumbar epidural, your legs may feel a bit heavy or numb afterwards, but you will most likely still be able to walk. It may take a few hours for the steroids to start relieving pain, and your back may be a bit sore for a few days. Injections aren’t always guaranteed to work, but when they do, you will start to experience pain relief within one to five days. If you experience pain relief, you may be able to return to normal activities and step up your physical therapy.
