Precision Injections for Diagnosis and Pain Relief
Therapeutic and diagnostic injections are a cornerstone of modern pain management. These minimally invasive procedures involve injecting medication—typically a combination of a local anesthetic and a steroid—directly to the suspected source of pain.
This approach serves two critical purposes: it can provide powerful, targeted relief by reducing inflammation and irritation, and it can act as a diagnostic tool, confirming which specific nerve or joint is causing the problem.
Under expert X-ray guidance, Dr. Kraft performs a range of injections, including Epidural Steroid Injections, Facet Joint Injections, and Nerve Blocks, to help patients find relief.
- Delivers medication directly to the problem area for more effective results than oral medications.
- Helps accurately identify the pain generator to guide the next steps in your treatment plan.
- We use fluoroscopy (X-ray guidance) to ensure exact needle placement for maximum safety and effectiveness.
