What Are Spinal Injections?

Spinal injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication, pain relief, or both directly into the affected area of the spine. These injections can treat conditions such as:

  • Sciatica: Pain radiating down the leg due to nerve compression.
  • Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal causing pain and weakness.
  • Herniated Discs: Pain from bulging or ruptured discs pressing on nerves.
  • Arthritis: Inflammation in the facet joints causing stiffness and discomfort.

Spinal injections may be used for diagnosis, pain management, or as part of a broader treatment plan that includes physiotherapy or surgery.

How to pay for your treatment

If you’re… paying for yourself

Did you know you don’t need private medical insurance to come to St John & St Elizabeth Hospital? As a self-pay patient, you can access safe, outstanding quality health care at times to suit you.

For scans and tests, as well as to see most consultants, you’ll still need to be referred by a medical professional like your GP, but as a self-pay patient, the process is more straightforward. You won’t need authorisation from an insurance provider, and you’ll have greater choice of consultant and appointment times.

If you’re… insured

St John & St Elizabeth Hospital is approved by all major medical insurance companies. If you have a personal private health insurance policy, or your company provide it for you, you can use it to pay for your care from your initial consultation through to treatment, surgery and aftercare such as physiotherapy. Not all private health insurance plans cover the same things. It’s very important to check exactly what you are covered for with your insurance provider.
