Abstract

Injection therapy is highly significant in the treatment of cervical syndromes. Following the differential diagnosis and analysis of the symptoms, injection treatment leads to a worthwhile degree of pain relief as a result of the anaesthetic effect on the nerve. This paper describes the general criteria for such treatment and also the various injection techniques in use.
