Key points:
- There are now about 9 million epidural steroid injections performed annually in the U.S and the number of procedures appears to be growing.
- The most common injections are into the neck (cervical) and into the lower back (lumbar).
- Besides the reduction in muscle tone Botox tends to reduce pain in pain syndromes associated with muscle spasm.
- Low back pain is common and injections with corticosteroids are a frequently used treatment option.
- Neck and shoulder pain can result in significant discomfort for patients, which affects their quality of life, can decrease work productivity, and increase outpatient visits and the emotional and financial burden on patients
- Shoulder pain can develop from the shoulder joint or any of the surrounding ligaments, muscles, or tendons.
- Physical therapy can offer neck-strengthening exercises to help ease pain and prevent recurrence.
- For pain associated with frozen shoulder that has not resolved, corticosteroid injections may help decrease pain and improve shoulder mobility.
