Lower back pain is a common issue, often stubborn and difficult to treat with exercise and manual therapy alone. If you’ve tried physiotherapy but still experience discomfort, guided injections may be the next step. At Excel Physio Therapy, we offer ultrasound-guided injections to help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve mobility.
What Are Guided Injections?
Guided injections involve delivering anti-inflammatory medication or other substances, such as corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid—directly to the affected area. With ultrasound imaging, we can target the precise spot in your lower back causing pain, ensuring accurate and effective treatment.
Conditions That May Benefit from Injections
- Facet joint arthritis
- Lumbar disc herniation
- Sciatica
- Spinal stenosis
- Sacroiliac joint inflammation
These conditions often involve inflammation and nerve irritation that can be relieved quickly with a well-placed injection.
Benefits of Lower Back Guided Injections
- Precision
Using ultrasound guidance, we ensure the injection is placed exactly where it’s needed, maximising effectiveness. - Rapid Pain Relief
Most patients experience significant improvement in pain within a few days, helping them return to activity more comfortably. - Enhanced Results from Physiotherapy
Injections can reduce pain enough to allow patients to better engage in strengthening and mobility work with their physiotherapist. - Non-Surgical Option
For many, guided injections can help avoid or delay the need for more invasive interventions like surgery. - Safe and Minimally Invasive
The procedure is quick, performed in a clinical setting, and has minimal recovery time.
What to Expect
At your initial consultation, we’ll assess your back pain and determine whether a guided injection is appropriate. If it is, the procedure can often be done quickly and safely, followed by a tailored rehabilitation programme to support recovery.
