Spine Intervention
The Medical Student's Guide to Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
In recent years, the field of physiatry has grown to
incorporate the use of interventional spinal therapeutics to treat the
growing number of patients with chronic debilitating back pain. Specialized training in image-guided spinal diagnostics and injections
includes the use of epidural, transforaminal, and selective nerve root
blocks. These techniques are being used as a nonsurgical
pain-relieving intervention for our patient population.
