Guest guest Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I used to live in SLC and I went to the Smart Clinic in Sandy UT, those doctors were the best and most well mannered I have ever had not to mention the cutest, lol. I sure do miss them In a message dated 1/17/2011 1:07:50 A.M.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 The only time I had an IV was when I had the radio frequency nueropathy. other than that, They just numbed the area and did the injections . I have had both neck and lumbar spine injections .  Injections were done by a pain management DR ,with a flouroscope XRay.
