Overview
When pain is severe enough to block progress, our anaesthesia and pain-medicine specialists may recommend precisely targeted injections — such as epidural, facet-joint or nerve-root blocks — to calm inflammation around irritated nerves and joints. This creates a window in which decompression and rehabilitation can work most effectively.
