Himchan Hospital Reveals Back Pain Injection Side Effects and Attention YouTube
Oct 10, 2025
On the YouTube channel of Himchan Hospital, a video about back pain patients are curious about will be released.
Lee Soo-chan, CEO of Himchan Hospital (Orthopedic Surgeon) and Lee Dong-chan, Director of the Center (Neurosurgeon), took a closer look at the types, effects, and precautions of injection treatment to relieve back pain through the "Suchan's Joint Talk" corner.
Back pain is caused by a variety of spinal diseases such as intervertebral disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and spinal compression fracture. Conservative treatments such as drugs, physics, and exercise are applied first to minimize pain, and then injection treatment is considered as a preoperative step when symptoms do not improve. It is recommended for patients complaining of back pain so severe that they cannot walk.
Steroid injections are a typical treatment for back injections. Among patients, it is called 'bone injection'.
In addition to steroid ingredients, this injection contains three to four ingredients, including topical anesthetics, physiological saline, and drugs that remove adhesion, which is a pain-inducing factor, to relieve pain and inflammation.
However, if used incorrectly, you can suffer from various side effects, so special attention is required.
"If excessive steroids are injected into the body, it can cause osteoporosis, but it is safe to keep the appropriate dose," said Lee Dong-chan, head of the Center at Himchan Hospital. "Patients who already have osteoporosis can prevent side effects by taking vitamin D." The common advice of experts is that it is more important to diagnose accurately and keep an appropriate dose and interval than to indiscriminate procedures.
Details of steroid injections will be introduced in detail next week. Su-chan's Joint Talk Corner is a health section where specialists appear in person to explain joint and spinal diseases and various treatments that patients are curious about, and deals with new topics every week.
