Spine block injection is a technique of injecting a cocktail of pain reliving medicines in the epidural space (space around the spinal nerves). There are different methods of doing this, like caudal route, posterior epidural route, transforaminal route. Long term relief can be achieved in many patients if the root is not too much compressed and in neuritis pain. Transforaminal route offers best result in unilateral pain.
