Spinal injections are a highly effective treatment for managing neck, back, and nerve-related pain. Mr Bhaskar Thakur uses targeted injections to reduce inflammation, alleviate pressure on nerves, and provide long-lasting relief for patients with a variety of spinal conditions.
How Spinal Injections Work
Spinal injections involve delivering medication directly to the affected area of the spine, often around irritated nerves or inflamed joints. This precision approach helps to calm inflammation, relieve pain, and improve mobility. Common types of spinal injections include epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, and nerve root blocks.
Benefits of Spinal Injections
- Immediate and targeted pain relief for acute or chronic conditions
- Reduces inflammation in the spine and surrounding tissues
- Helps improve mobility and function
- Supports faster recovery alongside physiotherapy or rehabilitation programs
- Minimally invasive, avoiding the need for surgery in many cases
Who Can Benefit from Spinal Injections?
Patients experiencing chronic back or neck pain, nerve compression, sciatica, or post-surgical discomfort often benefit from spinal injections. Mr Thakur carefully evaluates each patient to determine the most suitable type of injection, ensuring optimal outcomes and safety.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Spinal injections are typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Using advanced imaging guidance, Mr Thakur ensures accurate placement of the injection. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and the procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes. After the injection, patients are monitored briefly and can often return home the same day.
Recovery and Aftercare
Patients may notice improvement within a few days, though full benefits can take up to a week. It’s common to experience mild soreness at the injection site, which usually resolves quickly. Following the procedure, patients are encouraged to continue physiotherapy or prescribed exercises to enhance recovery and long-term spinal health.
Spinal injections provide a safe, effective, and minimally invasive option for managing spinal pain. Mr Bhaskar Thakur combines his expertise in neurosurgery and spine care to ensure every patient receives a personalised treatment plan designed to reduce pain, improve function, and support long-term spinal wellness.
