title: [Injection techniques in the cervical spine].
abstract: Spinal injections are a treatment option in the conservative management of degenerative spinal disorders. The indications must be critically reviewed for every patient. Treatment with injections for painful spinal disorders should be a part of interdisciplinary treatment regimes. The diagnostic value varies between injection procedures. A large number of imaging techniques are used to achieve a precise and safe needle placement in interventional procedures. The following article presents an overview of common fluoroscopy-guided spinal injection techniques for the cervical spine.
