Interventional Spine Procedures: A Case-Based Approach - Tapa dura

Interventional spine medicine involves the management of back pain through invasive treatments such as facet joint injections, nerve blocks, neuroaugmentation and implantable drug delivery systems. Presented with a case-based approach, this manual provides practitioners and trainees with the most recent advances in interventional spine procedures. Divided into eighteen chapters, each one deals with a different type of back pain, detailing the typical pain pattern, patient history, physical examination, imaging and interpretation, and treatment options and potential complications. Non-surgical treatment options including pharmacology, physical therapy and injections are discussed in depth.
