Interventional Pain Treatments
Epidural Injection
Spinal Canal Medication Injection / Epidural Steroid Injection
In cases of lumbar or cervical disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and chronic radicular pain, local anesthetics and steroid medications are injected into the epidural space. The goal is to reduce inflammation around the nerve root and temporarily or permanently relieve pain.
Trigger Point Injection
Medication Injection into Muscle Pain Points
Local anesthetic or cortisone injections are administered into the hardened and painful areas in the muscles. This reduces pain, relieves muscle spasms, and improves mobility.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Thermal Stimulation of Nerve Endings / Burning Pain Nerve
It is the thermal blocking of pain-transmitting nerve fibers by applying high-frequency electrical current to nerve endings.
Areas of use: Facet joint-related back and neck pain, trigeminal neuralgia, chronic extremity pain.
Avantaj: Minimal invaziv, uzun süreli ağrı kontrolü sağlar.
Nucleoplasty (Disc Decompression)
Minimally Invasive Reduction of the Spinal Disc to Reduce Pain
Minimally Invasive Reduction of the Spinal Disc to Reduce Pain: This involves reducing the size of a disc that is compressing a nerve root due to a herniated disc or disc degeneration using RF or mechanical devices. The goal is to reduce the pressure and alleviate pain without requiring surgery.
Spinal Facet Joint Nerve Block
For pain originating from small joints in the spine, local anesthetic and steroid injections are administered around the joint. This usually provides temporary pain relief; repeated applications or radiofrequency can provide long-term relief.

Frequently Asked Questions About Interventional Pain Treatments
When Are Epidural Injections Used for Back or Neck Hernia Pain, and How Do They Work?
Epidural Injection (Epidural Steroid Injection) is used in cases such as lumbar or cervical disc herniation and spinal stenosis that do not require surgery but do not respond to painkillers and physical therapy. During the procedure, local anesthetics and potent anti-inflammatory steroid medications are injected into the epidural space within the spinal canal. The goal is to rapidly reduce swelling and inflammation around the nerve root, thereby temporarily or long-term relieving radicular (radiating) pain caused by nerve compression.
What is Radiofrequency Ablation (Nerve Ablation) and Which Chronic Pain Conditions Does it Offer a Long-Term Solution For?
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive method used to treat chronic, persistent pain. During the procedure, thermal energy is delivered to specific nerve endings that carry pain using high-frequency electrical current, blocking these nerve fibers. This method provides long-term and effective pain control, particularly for back and neck pain originating from facet joints (small joints in the spine) and for nerve pain such as trigeminal neuralgia.
Is it possible to treat a herniated disc without surgery? How is nucleoplasty an alternative method?
Yes, not every case of a herniated disc requires surgery. Nucleoplasty (Disc Decompression) is one of the non-surgical treatment options. This minimally invasive procedure aims to reduce the nerve compression caused by the herniated disc material. Using radiofrequency or special mechanical devices, part of the disc is reduced in size. This alleviates the pressure on the nerve root and relieves the patient's pain. This method can be successfully applied, especially in the early stages of herniation or in certain types of disc degeneration pain.
