When we categorize interventions to the spine, we can classify them as follows:

1. Injection and radiofrequency methods applied to the epidural area
2. Injection and radiofrequency methods applied to facet joints
3. Neuroplasty applied to the epidural area
4. Joint injections and radiofrequency methods applied to joints surrounding the spine
5. Injections applied to the muscles in the area
6. Sympathetic nerve blocks
