Aim: To estimate the results of temporary & month- long medicinal capacity of zygapophysial joint injections. Method: The research was illustrative and therapeutic in nature. The orthopedic department of Mayo Hospital Lahore, was selected to conduct the research there. It spanned for 9 months (Jan,2018-Sept,2018). A population belonging to an age range of twenty to seventy years took part in the research. They were having lumbar ache with no response to Per os and physical therapy. We administered the zygapophysial joint injections using x-ray imaging. We analyzed the primary feedback to ache by employing ManNab’s outcome assessment of patient’s satisfaction and Prolo’s scale. We accumulated the facts and figures regarding temporary (more than 1 week) and medium-term impacts (after three months) by standardized interrogation. The estimation of the results purely and solely resulted from medical testing. Outcomes:A total of seventy-four percent cases among instantaneous cases (in 1 week) showed hopeful impacts while twenty-eight out of the short-term cases (succeeding the 6th week). We found minor impacts in sixteen cases who belonged to the medium- term category (succeeding the third month). Conclusion:Zygapophysial joint injections prove to be favorable having positive medium-term impacts in 1/3 cases who had persistent lumbar ache. Thus, it is a useful addition in non-surgical intervention. The results are based on medical detection and not on etymological ones.
