The vast majority of patients that present to the Columbia Pain Management center do respond to injection therapy alone. However there are patients who do not respond adequately to injection therapy. The treatment after injections is variable depending on the underlying disease. If a patient has discogenic pain with a herniated disc, this patient may very well be a candidate for a nucleoplasty, IDET procedure, a disc decompressor procedure, or a radio frequency lesioning. It is a rare event that the patient proceeds to a more invasive surgical procedure.
