Description:
Pain management injections are typically an anesthetic or steroid injected to deliver directly to the nerve, joint, or epidural space inside the spine. Injectables are sometimes referred to as "pain blocks" because they block the signal of pain, but only temporarily. The type of pain and the type of injection will determine how long relief will last - either hours or months.
