This pain management technique provides permanent pain relief to the patient for a period of months. Anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medications are injected into the space between the vertebra of the spine to decrease inflammation of the nerves. An x-ray and contrast dye guides the surgeon to assure the medication is placed into the correct space in the spine.
