Precision Treatment for Spine-Related Pain
Get expert referrals for spine injections to relieve nerve pain, sciatica, and spinal inflammation.
What Are Spine Injections?
Spine injections are advanced, image-guided procedures that deliver anti-inflammatory or anesthetic medication directly to areas around the spine — including nerve roots, discs, and facet joints.
These procedures help reduce pain caused by conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica, often helping patients delay or avoid surgery.
When Are Spine Injections Recommended?
We may refer you for a spine injection if:
- You’ve had ongoing back or neck pain
- Sciatica or nerve pain radiates into your limbs
- MRI or imaging shows spinal inflammation or disc issues
- You haven’t responded to medication or physical therapy
- You're being evaluated for surgical alternatives
Types of Spine Injections We Refer
While Unity Pain does not perform these injections in-house, we refer patients to trusted interventional pain specialists for procedures including:
Epidural Steroid Injections (ESIs) – for nerve root inflammation and sciatica
Facet Joint Injections – for arthritis-related back and neck pain
Medial Branch Blocks – for diagnostic clarity and treatment
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Injections – for lower back or pelvic pain
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – for longer-term relief after a successful diagnostic injection
