Selective Lumbar Injections

  • Selective injection in the spine is one of the most powerful diagnostic and therapeutic modalities available to the practitioner.

  • Gives us information about the structures generating pain, less reliably obtained from PE, spinal imaging, or electrodiagnostic testing.

  • 90% of spinal diagnosis depends on history and physical exam with testing to confirm the diagnosis.

  • Most useful in those patients with residual pain and restricted ROM and function, despite 4-6 weeks of aggressive rehabilitation.
