Caudal Epidural Block
Caudal block is a minimally invasive pain treatment involving injection of steroids and local anesthetics into the epidural space through the sacral hiatus.
Epiduroscopy
Epiduroscopy involves fiber-optic visualization and treatment of the epidural space entered through the sacral hiatus. Adhesiolysis, medication delivery, and laser treatment can be performed.
Facet Joint Block
Facet joint block involves injection of local anesthetic and steroid into the facet joints or their innervating medial branch nerves for pain management.
Transforaminal Epidural Injection
