I seen that too---that OZ was saying is the steroid medicine is approved and shot are approved muscles and joints but the procedure for injections in the spine is not FDA approved. Like Mrs D showed almost all insurance companies will pay for them because it less invasive and costly then spinal surgery. I know its sounds bit ambiguous----but IMHO alot/most things are driven by cost savings. Its not illegal to do them-- is just considered off label use.
