Fluoroscopy-guided: nerve root injection is is an injection of local anaesthetic and steroid under X-ray guidance for precision and safety. The procedure is performed under local anesthetic and conscious sedation could be also used. Almost painless procedure. It may take up to a few weeks to see the full benefit of the procedure. Good luck.
