“What is the right spot to get an injection for pain?”

I suggest you see an interventional spine specialist who will be able to do a full evaluation to determine if an injection is needed and where it can be administered.

There are various types of injections that could be offered depending on where the pain is located and what is causing the pain. Imaging and physical exam would determine that location.

This is not a straight forward answer because the spine is complicated and depends on your symptoms re: back pain. Will depend on how and where you get injected. Only your doctor can determine the procedure. It also depends on what is actually the diagnosis and what outcome one is looking to achieve. The common types of injections are lumbar epidural steroid injections, and selective nerve blocks sacroiliac joint block injections. I cannot give you the exact spot to inject as I do not know your diagnosis, but it’s all around the spine area. Prior to getting any treatment, it is of the utmost importance you understand fully all the Information regarding your treatment. I personally am a huge advocate of these injections as they bring immense relief to many patients, including myself, as I, too, suffer from back pain.

I hope this is helpful.
