Interventional Spine Injections
What Are The Most Common Spine Injections Performed By CROM Physicians?
The most common interventional injections performed by our physicians include epidural steroid injections, selective nerve root injections, sacroiliac joint injections, and facet joint injections. These procedures are considered to be both diagnostic and therapeutic. All injections are performed by a fully trained and qualified CROM physicians under fluoroscopic guidance in a surgical suite.
What Can I Do To Prepare For My Injection?
The following are a couple of things that you will need to be responsible for prior to your procedure:
- Please do not eat or drink anything 8 hours prior to your injection. If you have any questions regarding taking your medications the day of your procedure, please call our office prior to your appointment so that we can check with the physician.
- Please make arrangements to have someone available to drive you home after your injection. This is to ensure your ultimate safety and comfort following your procedure. It is our policy not to perform a spine procedure if a patient has not arranged for transportation home.
- Children are prohibited from being present in the procedure room. Please make necessary child care arrangements in advance of your appointment.
- Please notify the CROM physician performing your procedure if you have any allergies to medications.
How Long Does It Take To Perform An Injection And What Can I Expect Afterward?
The entire procedure generally takes 45 to 60 minutes. Your physician will clean your back and position you either sitting up, bent over a table, or lying on your side with your knees bent and tucked up under your chin. Once you are properly positioned, your physician will perform your interventional spine procedure. You may feel some pressure in your spine during your injection. We will continue to monitor you after your procedure. You will be advised on ways to diminish any soreness or discomfort you may feel after your procedure. Once the monitoring period is completed, you are free to leave. You are advised to eat within an hour or two after your procedure. Our office will contact you the day after your injection to check on you.
