Lower Back Injections for Spine Pain

Facet Joint Injections (Lumbar Spine)

Facet joints are a common source of low back pain.

  • Steroid Injections: Provide rapid relief by reducing inflammation.
  • PRP Injections: Encourage healing and improve long-term joint health.

Why: Helps reduce stiffness, improve movement, and ease facet-related pain.

Sacroiliac Joint Injections

The SI joint links the spine to the pelvis and can cause low back or buttock pain.

  • Steroid Injections: Rapid pain relief by calming joint inflammation.
  • PRP Injections: Regenerative option that supports stability and repair.

Why: Effective for arthritis, inflammation, or SI joint dysfunction.

Medial Branch Blocks (Diagnostic Test)

Used to confirm if the facet joints are the true source of pain.

  • How it works: A small dose of anaesthetic is placed on the medial branch nerves.
  • If pain improves: Confirms the facet joint as the cause, guiding next treatment steps such as radiofrequency ablation.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

A longer-term treatment for confirmed facet or SI joint pain.

  • How it works: Heat is applied to the nerves that carry pain signals, “switching off” pain transmission.
  • Duration: Relief can last 6–12 months or more.

Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections (Sciatica Treatment)

For sciatica caused by nerve root irritation from a slipped disc or spinal narrowing.

  • How it works: A precise injection of steroid and anaesthetic around the affected nerve root reduces swelling and pain.
  • Effect: Relieves leg pain, tingling, and numbness linked to sciatica.
