Book description
Written by a multidisciplinary team of experts,
Spinal Injection Techniques
presents all common methods for the injection of local anesthetics to
address pain from the cervical spine to the sacrum. The authors describe
techniques that are viable alternatives to spine surgery and that do not
rely on diagnostic imaging. The first section of the book covers a
general overview of the basic principles, diagnostics, and causal as
well as symptomatic pain therapy for the spine. Designed in atlas
format, the second section includes chapters on spinal anatomy and pain
signaling, techniques for injection therapy of the cervical, thoracic
and lumbar spine, management of potential complications and side
effects, and multimodal spine therapy. Illustrated by real-life
photographs from the author's practice, each technique-related chapter
guides the reader step-by-step and with great precision through the
injection procedures. Highlights:
Provides detailed coverage of
injection therapy without the use of image guidance
Features inpatient and outpatient minimally invasive spine therapy,
and concomitant pharmaceutical treatments
Includes essential information on contraindications and patient consent
More than 400 color illustrations and photographs demonstrate the
relevant anatomy, patient positioning, and accurate needle placement
Designed as a practical guide and useful compendium,
Spinal Injection Techniques
is invaluable for orthopedists and practitioners in physical medicine
and rehabilitation. It is also a handy reference for anesthesiologists,
neurologists, and rheumatologists with a specific interest in pain
therapy for the spine. "Production values for the book are very
high, with excellent reproduction of illustrations and
photographs...well written...the use of step-by-step illustrationsr
combined with demonstrations of the anatomy in cadaveric specimens
isexcellent...particularly useful."--Anaesthesia and Intensive
