Medication treatment of pain
A pain doctor who evaluates a patient with chronic or acute back pain discusses various treatment plans and their options.
The doctor may then prescribe oral medicine to be taken at home or injectable medicines to be administered at the clinic.
Depending on the patient's clinical case, the pain doctor may prescribe medications of different effectiveness.
If the pain doctor decides that an invasive pain treatment procedure is needed, the patient will be given the most effective treatment, taking into account the individual needs of the patient.
Injections into painful (trigger) muscle points
During the procedure, a mixture of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs is injected into the painful areas of the muscle, also called the trigger points. A trigger point occurs when a muscle in a certain area of the body contracts and is unable to retract. This can disrupt blood flow, making that muscle area painful.
Epidural drug injection
Injecting steroids into the space between the yellow ligament of the spinal cord and the hard cover. Epidural injections can be given through the interstitial space into the spine, through an opening (through the posterior intervertebral opening into the nerve root), or through a caudal access (through the sacral opening in the cross channel). The procedure is performed under the control of C-arc mobile X-ray machines.
