Spine-related pain: There are many indicated uses for these injections. Generally, they are used for radicular pain (that is, arm or leg pain) from a cervical or lumbar disc herniation, arthritis or stenosis. A physician specializing in Pain Medicine or Physiatrist usually administers these injections under X-ray guidance.
