What is Point Shot Therapy?
Today, pinpoint therapy has replaced traditional treatment methods as a method that. The point-and-shoot method, which is used in the treatment of spine and joint problems, is targeted and has high success rates.
The main purpose of point-and-shoot treatment is to determine the cause of the pain and to make an application for it. Point shot therapy is also called nerve canal injection. It can be used for back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain and all pain caused by spine or joint problems.
In point-shooting treatment, after the damaged nerve is detected with MRI and similar imaging methods, the needle is point-shot to the damaged nerve canal. The drug dose used in the pinpoint method is quite low, but the success rate is extremely high.
While applying point-and-shoot therapy, the application is performed with an imaging device, also called a scope.
Pinpoint Treatment
In point shooting treatment or epidural injection applications, the procedure can be performed in 3 different ways: from the middle of the waist, from the coccyx and directly to the nerve canal.

How Is It Done?
Cortisone and local anesthetic drugs are commonly used during the procedure. Thanks to these drugs, edema developed around the nerve and hernia as well as inflammation and adhesions are eliminated.
The most important reason why pinpoint therapy is a safe treatment method is that a C-arm fluoroscopy device is used to monitor both the needle's entry into the nerve canal and the spread of the applied contrast material in the nerve canal, live on the screen.
After the necessary examinations are made by a specialist physician and the location and severity of the damage is determined by using imaging methods, the application can be performed smoothly and successfully.
