Injections are Only a Temporary Solution |
 The majority of treatment options available to sufferers of disc bulges and disc herniations are directed at masking pain, reducing inflammation or relaxing muscles in spasm with medication. The effectiveness of these treatments lasts for as long as you take the medication even though the actual problem still exists behind the numbing effects of the drugs. Spinal injections can also be used to reduce pain and inflammation near the spine. Several varieties of spinal injections exist including cortisone injections for inflammation, epidural pain injections and “nerve blocks”. However, injections are only a temporary solution and carry with them a serious risk of infection.
