Injection treatment for small vertebral joints. Features and benefits Value
The image converter-aided facet block technique makes precise pain treatment possible. An exact diagnosis, however, is prerequisite. And supplementary treatments, such as physiotherapy, are necessary afterwards. Also, the procedure must occasionally be repeated.
Advantage
This is a minimally invasive procedure and can be conducted on an outpatient basis in our clinic. Lengthy open surgery can be avoided. And medicinal consumption is reduced following successful therapy.
Follow-up
A specialized physiotherapy program, requiring the coordination of the physical therapist and doctor, should begin immediately following the procedure.
f Ability to work
Light physical activity can usually begin within one to two weeks, depending upon the exact diagnosis.
Sports
Sports can usually be resumed when the treatment is completed.
