Symptoms resolve in most individuals with acute low back pain within 2 to 4 weeks, and higher costs and similar long-term outcomes are associated with physical treatments, so therapy should be reserved for patients not responding adequately to initial conservative treatment. The injection treatment depends on the presentation of the patient. In my experience of more than 500 spinal injections spinal injections showed moderate short-term improvement in leg pain and sensory deficit following one such injectiontreatment. In come cases there was alleviation of low back pain as well due to disc herniation.
