As the population ages, more patients are developing degenerative changes of the
spine and associated pain. Although interventional procedures for axial and
radicular spine pain have been available for decades, common imaging modalities
have relied on ionizing radiation for guidance. Over the past decade, ultrasound
has become increasingly popular to image both peripheral musculoskeletal and
axial structures. This article reviews the use of ultrasound in the guidance of
spine procedures, including cervical and lumbar facet injections and medial
branch blocks, third occipital nerve blocks, thoracic facet and costotransverse
joint injections, sacroiliac joint injections, and caudal and interlaminar epidural injections.
