Targeted Therapy Lumbar Disc Prolapse
By ONUS Robotic Hospitals | Robotic Spine & Pain Management Experts
Understanding Lumbar Disc Prolapse & Sciatica
Caption: When Your Spine Pinches the Nerve, the Pain Travels Down.
The lumbar spine (lower back) contains intervertebral discs that act as cushions between vertebrae.
When one of these discs slips or bulges — called Lumbar Disc Prolapse — it can press on nearby spinal nerves, especially the sciatic nerve, causing radiating pain down the leg.
Common Symptoms:
- Sharp shooting pain from lower back to leg
- Numbness or tingling in legs or feet
- Weakness while standing or walking
- Pain worsening while coughing or bending
What is Image-Guided Root Block Therapy?

Nerve Root Block (Target Therapy) is a minimally invasive injection procedure that targets the exact nerve causing your pain.
Under live imaging (fluoroscopy or ultrasound), a mixture of local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication is injected precisely near the inflamed nerve root.
This targeted approach blocks pain transmission, reduces inflammation, and provides immediate relief.
How It’s Done:
- The patient lies comfortably in the procedure suite.
- Imaging identifies the affected nerve root.
- A fine needle is guided with precision to the target site.
- Medication is injected to reduce pain and swelling.
How Target Therapy Works

Unlike oral medications or general injections, this technique delivers medicine directly to the source of pain.
Benefits:
- Targeted treatment of the specific compressed nerve
- Image-guided precision ensures safety and accuracy
- Rapid pain relief within hours to days
- Avoids surgery in many cases
- Improves mobility & daily function
This approach is ideal for patients who don’t respond to medicines or physiotherapy but wish to avoid spine surgery.
Indications in Orthopedics & Spine Care

Target therapy with root block is effective in:
- Lumbar Disc Prolapse (Slip Disc)
- Sciatica (Nerve Compression Pain)
- Radiculopathy (Leg Pain due to Nerve Irritation)
- Spinal Stenosis
- Post-surgical nerve inflammation
- Chronic back and leg pain syndromes
Recovery & Results
Caption: Fast Relief. No Hospital Stay.
- Procedure time: 20–30 minutes
- Stay: Day-care (discharge within 2–3 hours)
- Pain relief: often within 24–72 hours
- Effect duration: several weeks to months
- Rehabilitation: physiotherapy advised to maintain flexibility and core strength
Patients can resume normal activities within 1–2 days, with ongoing improvement in comfort and movement.
