2014 Study Shows Steroid Injection Plus MDT Reduce Need for Lumbar Disc Surgery Pt Pro Talk Podcast

In this video, we discuss the clinical impact of two spinal injections on patients with radicular symptoms. Initially classified as peripheralizers, nearly 50% of patients transitioned to centralizers after the second injection, suggesting reduced inflammation allowed for improved mechanical movement and pain centralization. About 16% experienced complete pain relief, indicating a primarily chemical inflammation that resolved with the injections alone. Another 15% continued to peripheralize with movement but had significantly less pain—enough that surgical intervention was no longer considered necessary. This highlights how inflammation management can open the door for effective mechanical treatment strategies.
