Nerve Blocks
The cervical area of your spine has seven vertebrae. Soft discs found between the vertebrae provide cushion, stability, and control motion of your spine. If a disc tears, chemicals inside may leak out causing inflamed nerve roots and causing immense pain. A large disc tear can cause the disc to bulge, which increases the pain even more.

When a patient receives a low-dose steroid injection at Unity Spine & Joint, they will receive the lowest amount of corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory medicine) in their injection.
