Interventional Pain Physicians Rejoice! FDA Fast-Tracking New Injection for Sciatica and Low Back Pain

“In an effort to offer patients a non-opioid, preservative-free option for corticosteroid injections, the FDA has decided to expedite the review process to make this option potentially available to pain management practices sooner rather than later, according to Orthopedics This Week, the new viscous gel is injected into the lower back for the treatment of persistent lumbar and sciatica pain, and can be done in the office. The Orthohealing Center looks forward to further updates on clinical data and future availability to meet the need for more minimally invasive treatments for low back pain and sciatica.”
