Spinal injections, when performed with proper indications by an experienced physician, are generally considered safe. Since the procedures are performed under imaging guidance, the physician clearly visualizes the target area and confirms the procedure in risky areas with the use of contrast material, which minimizes significant risks. Aseptic conditions are meticulously maintained to prevent the possible risk of infection. Overall, the risks associated with these types of injections are significantly lower compared to more invasive procedures like lumbar disc surgery. Although serious complications are rare, minor side effects such as mild allergic reactions, temporary increases in blood sugar or blood pressure, dizziness, and headaches may sometimes occur; these side effects are usually quickly controlled. Rarely, facial flushing may be observed in the initial days due to the administered steroid, and some women may experience menstrual irregularities in the first month. The procedure is not expected to cause permanent damage to nerve roots.
