A2 - Mitra, Raj PY - 2019 T2 - Principles of Rehabilitation Medicine AB - THERE ARE A WIDE VARIETY OF POTENTIAL PAIN generators in the spine, including the zygapophysial joints, intervertebral discs, nerve roots, sacroiliac joint, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Interventional pain management techniques are performed for either diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Ideally, prior to the procedure a thorough history and physical examination have been performed and a specific diagnosis has been made. The procedures should be target specific and performed in a technically sound manner with proper technique. Current literature suggests that in some cases procedures performed without guidance (i.e., “blind”) that are not target specific may not be better than sham treatments; although there may be indications for such procedures in certain conditions, they will be sparingly covered in this chapter. Other injections that are target specific but do not have credible efficacy data will also not be discussed.
