The injection procedure, designed to alleviate pain in the nerve roots, is a highly precise method performed under X-ray control in sterile operating room conditions. The procedure is carried out under the supervision of a neurosurgeon consultant at the Batsaihan Hospital.
With the opening of a new diagnostic MRI scanner at the hospital, the capabilities of neurosurgical services have expanded, further strengthening the evidence-based medicine foundation.
During the procedure, an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid medication is injected directly into the affected nerve root through the intervertebral foramen, significantly reducing swelling and inflammation, thereby alleviating pain sensations.
This method is typically used for herniated intervertebral discs, sciatica, spinal canal stenosis, and other conditions related to compression of spinal nerves.
Moreover, this treatment not only helps reduce pain but can also improve mobility and decrease the likelihood of the need for surgical intervention.
