A very large number of patients have suffered or are still suffering from chronic pain of some sort. Back pain tends to be one of the most well-known problems amongst those with chronic pain. Of course, the back has many targeted areas in which pain could be treated from. Today, our Oklahoma Pain Treatment Centers team is sharing three of the most common injection target areas.

Lower Back: The lower back can be helped with epidural injections, which help problems such as sciatic nerve pain. Epidural injections also pinpoint the area around the spinal cord where nerve roots exit and extend to other parts of the body.

Tendons: Inflammation in tendons can cause painful problems between the connection of muscle and bone. Injections can be used to calm down an inflamed tendon and reduce friction.

Joints: There are joints all over the human body, but the most common painful spots for joints include the knees and facet joint of the spine. Steroid injections can be utilized to calm the inflammation of joints or problems (such as arthritis).

When used according to injury, injection therapy can play an important role in offering high-quality pain relief. Our Oklahoma Pain Treatment Centers physicians would consult with you first about your particular cause of injury or chronic pain to determine the best course of action to take for pain management treatment.

It’s not worth it for anyone to suffer from chronic pain when a solution can make a difference. If you’re suffering from lower back pain, tendonitis, or joint pain, you may just need to consult with our Oklahoma Pain Treatment Centers physicians about the type of injection therapy that could be right for you.
