If back pain is making it difficult to accomplish daily tasks, spine injections are a lowrisk treatment option that provide quick relief without surgery. Here, Duke’s Michael Guo, MD, a physiatrist who specializes in treating spinerelated problems with injections, explains common types of injections and the kinds of back and neck pain they treat.
According to Dr. Guo, spine injections are most effective at treating pain that radiates from the back or neck to the legs or arms (radicular pain) and localized pain that stays in one place (axial pain).
