title: [Radiologically guided lumbar injections].
abstract: Lumbar injections of corticosteroids are an established part of sciatica nonsurgical treatment; that's to their anti-inflammatory properties. Fluoroscopically monitored injections are more likely to place medication at the exact target site and with higher concentration; then they maximize therapeutic results. Lumbar steroid injections are efficient at short and middle term, and they precipitate relief.
