Image guided interventions for back pain
Wear and tear on the vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs can lead to pressure-induced irritation of nerve roots in the spinal canal or the nerve root exit points. As a result, an inflammatory reaction may develop, which can cause pain and discomfort in the back, buttocks, groin or legs. Wear and tear of the small vertebral joints and the sacroiliac joints can lead to joint capsule irritation and often cause local pain.
