Abstract
Pain interventionist emphasizes particular attention to the spinal anatomy. Spine pain generators differ from intervertebral disc to facet joint or ligaments. Injection at these critical structures requires a complete visualization of anatomical location. Spinal cord injury or intravascular injections are the serious complications of spine pain intervention. Understanding the neurovascular anatomy of the spinal column prevents misfortune injection and its unwanted complications. The purpose of this study is to review spine anatomy and responsible pain generators and to verify the importance of anatomy in preventing pain injections complication.
