Radicular Syndrome: Injections ExplainedAct Now or Wait | PT Pro Talk Podcast

In this video, we discuss the timing and rationale behind using injections for patients with Ridicular Syndrome (radicular pain due to nerve root irritation). It's important to allow the natural inflammatory response to aid in herniated disc regression, typically waiting at least six weeks before considering an injection. However, for patients who continue to experience severe night pain, prolonged morning stiffness, and no centralization or positional relief, an injection may be beneficial. These cases suggest a persistent inflammatory nerve root response. An MRI is essential for safety before proceeding, and while injections can be costly, especially in the U.S., they may be necessary for selected patients who don't improve with conservative care.a
