Back Pain Specialist FAQ
Yes. A clinical examination can suggest the cause, but ultrasound allows us to visualise muscles, facet joints, sacroiliac joints and surrounding soft tissues in real-time. This helps identify the exact source of pain and plan precise treatment.
Yes. When performed under ultrasound guidance, injections are highly accurate and avoid important structures like nerves and blood vessels. This significantly improves safety and effectiveness.
Yes. Targeted injections reduce inflammation around irritated or compressed nerves, helping to relieve symptoms such as leg pain, tingling, or numbness.
Relief can last from several weeks to several months, depending on the condition being treated and how your body responds. Many patients experience significant improvement in both pain and movement.
Ultrasound is dynamic, meaning we can assess your back while you move. This helps detect issues like muscle tightness or joint restriction in real-time, whereas MRI provides a static image.
Most patients tolerate them very well. We use fine needles, local anaesthetic, and ultrasound guidance to ensure the procedure is as comfortable and precise as possible.
Yes. If your assessment and ultrasound confirm that an injection is appropriate, treatment can usually be carried out during the same appointment.
No. You can self-refer directly to our clinic. This allows you to access specialist assessment, imaging, and treatment without long waiting times.
This is often due to nerve irritation or compression in the lower back (sciatica or lumbar radiculopathy). Conditions like disc issues, facet joint inflammation or muscle tightness can affect nearby nerves, causing radiating pain, tingling, or weakness in the leg.
We usually recommend 24–48 hours of relative rest after an injection. After that, you can gradually return to normal activities, guided by your symptoms and our advice.
