EPIDURAL STEROID INJECTION (ESI)

Published on: 13/04/2020

Epidural steroid injections (ESI) are used to treat a variety of conditions that cause unrelenting back pain. In some cases, ESI can delay the need for surgery. Some estimates suggest that, between, 10%-20% of the population suffers from some sort of chronic back pain. There are many reasons someone might experience continued back pain – issues with facet joints, torn or inflamed ligaments, strained muscles, and irritated nerve roots.

VERTEBRAL BODY FRACTURES

Published on: 09/04/2020

Vertebral Body Fractures are a fracture of the vertebrae (bones of the spine) that eventually cause a collapse of the vertebral body. These fractures are most commonly located in the thoracic spine (the middle portion of the spine). The major risk factor for vertebral body fractures are increasing age and occur when the upper body weight exceeds the ability of vertebrae to support the load. Although more frequently seen in women, men can be affected as well (Old, 2004).
