🩺 Target Therapy in Orthopedics: Image-Guided Root Block Injection for Lumbar & Cervical Disc Prolapse
🌟 Precision Pain Relief Through Target Therapy
Chronic back pain, neck stiffness, or shooting pain into your arms or legs could mean a herniated disc compressing a spinal nerve root.
At ONUS Robotic Hospitals, we offer a modern solution — Image-Guided Root Block Injection, a targeted therapy designed to relieve nerve inflammation right at the source without surgery.
🔍 What is Root Block Injection?
A Root Block Injection (also called a Nerve Root Block) is a minimally invasive image-guided pain management procedure.
Using advanced imaging like fluoroscopy or ultrasound, the specialist injects a combination of local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication around the affected nerve root.
This helps:
- Reduce nerve swelling
- Relieve pain radiating down the arm or leg
- Improve movement and quality of life
- Diagnose which nerve is causing pain
⚙️ How Image Guidance Improves Precision
At ONUS Robotic Hospitals, our pain and spine specialists use real-time imaging to ensure pin-point accuracy.
This advanced visualization prevents injury to surrounding tissues and ensures the medication reaches exactly where it’s needed — the inflamed nerve root.
🦴 For Lumbar Disc Prolapse (Lower Back & Sciatica)
When a lumbar disc slips or bulges, it can press on the sciatic nerve, leading to:
- Pain radiating from the back to the leg
- Numbness or tingling
- Difficulty sitting or walking
💉 Root Block Benefits for Sciatica:
- Reduces nerve inflammation and pain
- Restores mobility within days
- May delay or even avoid surgery
- Supports rehabilitation and physiotherapy
💪 For Cervical Disc Prolapse (Neck Pain & Arm Radiculopathy)
In the neck region, a cervical disc prolapse can irritate nerves that travel down the shoulder and arm, causing:
- Neck pain radiating to one arm
- Tingling, burning, or weakness in the hand
- Pain worsened by head movement
🎯 Image-Guided Cervical Root Block:
- Delivers precise medication near the affected cervical nerve root
- Relieves radiating arm pain and improves hand strength
- Helps confirm which disc level is responsible
- Enables faster rehabilitation and return to work
🧠 Why Choose Target Therapy Over Surgery?
✅ Minimally invasive
✅ Performed under local anesthesia
✅ Outpatient procedure — no hospital stay
✅ Quick recovery (usually same day)
✅ Ideal for patients unfit or unwilling for spine surgery
