Rehabilitation goes beyond physical therapy to restore athletic performance through a more extensive conditioning and education program.
Corticosteroid, a powerful anti-inflammatory drug, is injected directly into the area that is the source of the pain. The medication can provide temporary or long-term relief from pain by reducing swelling and eliminating friction among nerves, muscles and other tissues.
Spinal nerve blocks are used to treat chronic back or neck pain caused by a pinched or damaged nerve. Nerve blocks numb the nerve using an anaesthetic to provide relief from pain.
