MRI
A. Not always. X-Rays, MRI’s, etc, are extremely helpful if a patient presents with a very specific group of findings on examination or if the patient has specific symptoms. Testing is used to confirm diagnoses or to establish a new one. In many cases, the diagnosis is clear after the doctor listens to your symptoms and examines you. When this is the case, additional testing is not necessary.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
A. Since the joints in the spine are usually narrow and small, most of them can only be entered with confidence if the doctor uses an imaging machine to localize the needle tip. Special X-ray machines or CT scans can confirm the location of the needle tip before the injection occurs. This not only increases effectiveness but safety as well. Some doctors safely perform a type of spinal injectioncalled epidural steroid injections without CT or X-ray guidance. Others prefer to use a special X-ray machine.

Orthopedics
Peter Gemelli, MD is a fellowship trained pain managment doctor specializing in fluoroscopically guided injections of the lumbar and cervical regions. Dr. Gemelli completed medical school at the Ross University School of Medicine. He completed his residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at East Carolina University and is fellowship trained though Non-Surgical Orthopedics in Marietta, Georgia.
Sciatica
Whiplash
Pinched Nerve
This injection relieves pain in the neck, shoulders, and arms caused by a pinched nerve (or nerves) in the cervical spine. Conditions such as herniated discs and spinal stenosis can compress nerves, causing inflammation and pain. The medication injected helps decrease the swelling of nerves.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
As a physician specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, I constantly strive to uncover the latest and most effective therapies for reducing or eliminating pain. The use of Botox (botulinum toxin A) injections for the treatment of pain is one of the most exciting and innovative developments in recent years.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
A. P.T’s specialize just like doctors. Some PT’s are terrific treating back pain; others are terrific treating sports injuries. It is important to receive treatment that is specific for your unique problem. When it comes to treating back pain, routine treatment is successful only for routine problems. One size does not fit all.
Physical Therapy
A. No. If your doctor has accurately diagnosed the cause of your back pain and referred you to a physical therapist, he/she has a specific treatment in mind. Physical therapy can be extremely beneficial and sometimes curative.
