[Injection treatment for cervical and lumbar syndromes : Special infiltration techniques].

Minimally invasive injection treatment is indicated particularly in cases of treatment-resistant, painful degenerative alterations of the cervical and lumbar spine, intervertebral disc displacement and radicular syndrome. Through the injections and the supplementation with further conservative, e.g., physical therapy and activating measures, the vicious circle of neural irritation and muscle tension and sympathetic nerve reactions can be interrupted.
