title: [Injection therapy for cervical and lumbar syndromes].
abstract: In cervical and lumbar pain syndromes special injections are key for effective pain therapy. Depending on the origin of pain injections are placed at the nerve root or the joints. Thus, the vicious cycle can be stopped. A correct technical procedure is of enormous importance. Because pharmacological effects and special complications are possible, monitoring and precautions are mandatory.
