The VeriSpine difference
Fast-acting relief
Epidural and nerve block injections can provide significant pain reduction within days, enabling you to engage in rehabilitation.
Imaging-guided precision
Every injection at VeriSpine is performed under fluoroscopy or ultrasound — no blind injections.
Diagnostic value
Selective nerve root blocks help identify the exact spinal level responsible for your pain, guiding further treatment decisions.
Bridges to recovery
Injections create a window of reduced pain that allows physical therapy and regenerative treatments to work more effectively.
The treatment process
Pre-procedure planning
Your physician reviews your MRI and exam findings to determine the appropriate injection type and target level.
Positioning & preparation
You are positioned for optimal access. The skin is cleaned and a local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort.
Guided injection
Using live X-ray (fluoroscopy) or ultrasound guidance, the needle is precisely placed at the target site and medication is injected.
Recovery & monitoring
You rest in our recovery area for 20–30 minutes. Most patients go home the same day and can return to light activity within 24 hours.

Book Free ConsultationWhat types of spinal injections do you perform?
We perform epidural steroid injections (cervical, thoracic, lumbar), selective nerve root blocks, medial branch blocks, facet joint injections, and trigger point injections.
How quickly will I feel relief?
The steroid component typically takes 3–5 days to reach full effect. Some patients feel relief within 24–48 hours from the local anesthetic component.
How many injections can I have per year?
Most guidelines recommend no more than 3–4 corticosteroid injections per year at any given site to minimize steroid-related side effects.
Are spinal injections covered by insurance?
Yes — most spinal injections are covered by major insurance plans and Medicare when medically indicated. Our team verifies coverage before your procedure.
