Abstract

Given their relative safety, the ease of use in trained hands, and cost-effectiveness, injection therapies can be beneficial when more conservative treatment measures have failed. Injection therapies containing local anesthetics may help confirm a diagnosis, particularly when performed with the precision of image guidance. Informed consent should be obtained for all procedures and should include a discussion regarding the indications, anticipated outcome, potential risks and complications, possible side effects, and alternatives to the procedure. It is incumbent on the proceduralist to have a thorough understanding of the relevant anatomy, procedural technique, potential risks, and procedural contraindications and to be prepared to manage any unforeseen complications prior to attempting injection therapies. Injection therapies are very rarely indicated as first-line treatment.
