X-ray guided pain therapy
When is X-ray-guided pain therapy used?
X-ray-guided pain therapy is used for various complaints and conditions, including:
- Herniated discs and back pain (relief of pain through targeted treatment of irritated nerves)
- Facet joint osteoarthritis (effective pain control in joint wear of the spine)
- Spinal canal stenosis (reduction of nerve pain through gentle procedures)
- Sacroiliac joint osteoarthritis (precise treatment of pain in the sacroiliac joint)
- Sciatica complaints
- Nerve root irritations
- Sacroiliac joint pain
- Shoulder and hip joint pain
- Chronic joint inflammations
Advantages of X-ray-guided pain therapy
- Precise Pain Relief: Allows for accurate placement of the injection for targeted pain treatment.
- Fast Acting: Often provides quick pain relief.
- Minimally Invasive: Reduces the need for surgical interventions.
- Imaging Support: Increases the accuracy and safety of the injection through the use of X-rays.
- Long-lasting Effect: Can provide long-lasting pain relief.
- Individually Tailored: The treatment is tailored to the specific needs of the patient.
Execution of X-ray-guided pain therapy.
- Examination: The doctor conducts a thorough medical history and physical examination to determine the exact location of the complaints.
- Preparation: The area to be treated is disinfected and locally anesthetized.
- Imaging: X-rays are used to determine the exact position of the injection.
- Injection: A mixture of local anesthetics and anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., corticosteroids) is precisely injected into the affected area.
- Monitoring: After the injection, the patient is monitored for a short time to detect possible side effects or unexpected reactions early.
- Duration of treatment: A session usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.
- Frequency of sessions: Depending on the type and severity of the complaints, several sessions may be necessary.
What you need to consider before X-ray-guided pain therapy
- Health issues: Inform the doctor about existing health issues, especially blood clotting disorders or allergies.
- Medications: Inform the doctor about any medications you are taking, including blood thinners.
- Allergies: Inform the doctor about known allergies to local anesthetics or contrast agents.
- Preparation: No special preparations are required, but comfortable clothing that allows access to the treated area is helpful.
Debriefing and Consultation
After the X-ray-guided pain therapy, the doctor will discuss the results and your reaction to the treatment. The doctor will assess whether further injections or additional therapies are necessary. Additional recommendations may include physiotherapy measures, specific exercises, or adjustments in daily life to support healing and pain relief.
