title: Injection therapy in lumbar syndromes.
abstract: Injectiontherapy as part of orthopaedic pain treatment is of major importance in sciatica. It helps to differentiate unclear complaints and allows a break through of the vitious circle of pain and muscle spasm. Pharmacological principals and possible complications have to be observed. The different techniques need experience and manual training. The paper describes the various injection techniques in detail.
