For some time now, C-arm fluoroscopy-guided spinal injections have been performed widely for both the diagnosis and management of spinal and paraspinal pain. Despite this common use, many residents and pain fellows do not receive formal training in the anatomy of the vertebral column as it relates to radiographic imaging, nor do they receive any tr

Safe and effective injection techniques for the treatment of spinal pain Written by a multidisciplinary team of experts, Spinal Injection Techniques presents the most effective methods for injecting pharmaceuticals to address acute and chronic pain originating from the cervical spine to the sacrum. This new, second edition has been extensively revised and updated with replacement of many images and addition of an extended chapter with tips and tricks on diagnostic and clinical examination. The authors' emphasis is on techniques that represent viable alternatives to spine surgery and do not rely on diagnostic imaging. The first section of the book provides a general overview of the basic principles, diagnostics, and causal as well as symptomatic pain therapy for the spine. The second section, created in an atlas format, includes chapters on spinal anatomy and pain signaling, techniques for injection therapy of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, management of potential complications and side effects, and multimodal spine therapy. Illustrated using real-life photographs from the authors' practice, each technique-related chapter guides the reader step-by-step and with great confidence through the injection procedures. Highlights: Provides detailed coverage of injection therapy using anatomic landmarks, without the use of image guidance Features minimally invasive spine therapy for inpatient and outpatient settings, with concomitant pharmaceutical treatments Includes essential information on contraindications and patient consent More than 500 color illustrations and photographs demonstrating the relevant anatomy, patient positioning, and accurate needle placement Conceived as a practical guide and useful compendium, Spinal Injection Techniques is invaluable for orthopedists and practitioners in physical medicine and rehabilitation. It is also a handy reference for anesthesiologists, neurologists, and rheumatologists with a specific interest in pain therapy for the spine.

This practical and highly accessible new atlas illustrates the most commonly performed radiographically directed diagnostic and therapeutic spinal procedures with more than 550 images. Each chapter follows the same consistent format-beginning with a definition and review of the literature and progressing through the rationale for the procedure, the required equipment and supplies, and coverage of informed consent issues and patient selection to the how-tos of the procedure. The procedures are described with easy-to-follow tables. Skeletal radiographs demonstrating the pertinent anatomy on actual specimens are followed by multiple examples of both easy and challenging cases. Covers a wide range of procedures including epidural steroid injection · nerve root blocks · sacroiliac joint injections · facet joint procedures · discography · percutaneous needle biopsy · kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty · intradiscal electrothermal annuloplasty (IDET) and myelography. Offers clear photographs of injection sites to ensure proper needle placement Addresses commonly encountered pitfalls and complications, concerns not addressed in other texts. Shows how to determine which back structure is generating pain and which injection site will provide relief. Discusses procedures based on carefully analyzed utility of state-of-the-art-techniques in actual clinical practice Presents an extensive review of the literature and discusses the theoretical background and assumptions related to scientific and technical methodology.
