Injections are an invasive technique that can diagnose the cause of pain, and can treat the pain itself. The great thing about injections for back pain is that they deliver medicine directly to the site of the pain. The amount of pain relief from injections vary from temporary to long lasting.
Although there are many types of medications used for injections, injections themselves are broadly categorized according to what type of tissue, body system, or location receives the shot.An ESI is a common type of injection that is given to provide relief from certain types of low back and neck pain.
