Thanks for the video. What are you using for the injections? Is it just normal saline or something else. Thanks

[@DrOzanAmir]

Hi, I use various mixes, usually containing local anaesthetic and saline or dextrose and saline. In this vid I used ropivacaine and saline (50/50).

Dr Oz!, thank you for this thread. I wanted to ask if you have determined whether there is any disc bulging at the L4/5/S1 levels. Additionally, would it be advisable to use ultrasound guidance for high-volume injections to ensure accuracy and safety?"

[@DrOzanAmir]

Hello. No lower back issues. For anything deeper than the subcutaneous level, I would advise ultrasound. In this video, the injection was just below the skin. Eg: Hydrodissection for tarsal tunnel syndrome, I would use ultrasound (or a nerve stimulator as described by @Dr Ian Reilly).
