Fluoroscopy-Guided Injections

Fluoroscopy-guided injections use live X-ray imaging to help guide needle placement when medication is injected into an area such as a nerve root, a joint, or soft tissue. Image guidance is commonly used for spinal and deep joint injections.

When This Approach May Be Considered

Spinal Pain — for example, pain associated with disc irritation or nerve root compression.
Joint Pain — involving deep joints that are difficult to reach without imaging.
Orthopedic Injuries — pain following an injury.

As with any procedure, injections carry possible risks and side effects, which are discussed before treatment, and results vary.
