Why struggle
with back pain?
Spinal injections from as little as £1,000
at One Ashford Hospital
More and more people are suffering with back, neck and muscular disorders in the UK today.
The impact on our working life is increasing with more than 31 million working days lost at a
cost of £14bn to the economy.
If the treatment you receive
has not helped relieve your
symptoms, or if you have had
pain for a long period, our
physios will recommend you
see one of our Orthopaedic
Consultants for further
investigation. You may require
an MRI scan which can be
carried out at One Ashford
Hospital in our specialist
imaging suite. Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI) is
a common procedure that
uses magnetic fields and radio
waves to produce detailed
images of the body. It has
revolutionised treatment for
people with back pain and
is considered the single best
imaging study of the spine
to help diagnosis and plan
treatment for back pain.
One Ashford Hospital is
able to offer competitive
fixed-priced packages
for spinal injections,
including:
• Epidural injection
• Facet joint injection(s) –
various
• Dorsal root block

Most people will experience an
episode of acute back pain at
some point, with attacks often
occurring from exasperating
a previous condition. Today’s
lifestyle plays a significant role
in the increasing prevalence
of back related disorders.
This includes poor posture,
commonly caused by sitting
for long periods of time at
a desk, along with living a
more sedentary lifestyle.
Most symptoms will resolve
within 6-8 weeks with self-
care for mild pain, but other
symptoms may require care
by a healthcare professional
such as a physiotherapist,
in order to live a fuller,
more comfortable life.
