Selective Spinal Injections for Lower Back Pain.
Tremendous progress has been made in the understanding of neural pathways and tissues involved in back pain, and new treatment techniques for back pain have evolved. This article focuses on a technique called epidural neuroplasty (lysis of epidural adhesions). Originally performed as a single-catheter technique using the caudal approach, this technique now features a number of variations. These variations include emphasis on anterior placement of the catheter tip, use of a transforaminal approach, and use of one or two catheters.
