Precise and gentle

Pain therapy

Wide range of applications

The Radiology Center Baden offers you precise and gentle pain therapies at the respective site of the illness. We carry out pain therapies for painful joints as well as for the spine.

Infiltrations

Joints can be infiltrated under fluoroscopy with local anesthetics, cortisone or as part of autologous blood therapy (Orthokine), i.e. the substances are injected directly into the joint by the doctor. We use CT-guided pain therapy in particular for painful diseases of the spine.

CT-guided pain therapy

CT-guided pain therapy is used, for example, for herniated discs or severe irritation of the small vertebral joints (so-called facet joints). Precise imaging in the computer tomograph enables us to identify the exact position of the affected region and treat it specifically at the site where the pain originated.

This is how we proceed

Methods & medication

Depending on the location of the pain and the individual needs, we use different methods and medications: cortisone (Kenacort) and bupivacaine (an anesthetic).

  • In periradicular therapy (PRT), the medication is injected directly into the vicinity of the nerve root to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
  • Epidural therapy focuses on injecting medication into the epidural space in order to relieve the nerve structures.
  • The sacral block is an injection in the area of the sacrum to relieve pain in the lower back.
  • Facet joint infiltration aims to treat pain in the small joints of the spine. We usually use a combination of cortisone and anesthetic, which is injected directly into the joint space.
