Ultrasound-guided interventions for spinal pain

• Kim YH

Abstract

Injection therapy plays a major role in the management of spinal pain and has been performed under the guidance of computed tomography or fluoroscopy. Recently, several ultrasound-guided techniques in the domain of spinal pain have been emerging because ultrasound is useful in visualization of the inner structures, is portable, and is not associated with the radiation exposure. This paper reviews a variety of techniques for ultrasound-guided interventions which has been reported in spinal pain.
