We will soon begin repaving the main driveway outside the Yawkey, Menino, and Moakley buildings. Weather permitting, driveway closures are scheduled for the following weekends, from Friday at 8 p.m. through Sunday at 8 p.m., on the following dates: Sept. 19-21, Sept. 26-28, Oct. 17-19, and Oct. 24-26. 

Access Changes During Construction:

Pedestrian Access: Patients and visitors will be able to enter Moakley through the entrance on East Concord Street.    

Vehicle Access: Vehicular traffic should use the designated drop-off and pick-up area on East Concord Street or the 710 Albany Street Garage. Signage will indicate where metered parking has been blocked off to create a drop-off/pick-up zone (on E. Concord between Harrison and the Moakley side entrance).

Spinal injections can be used to diagnose the cause of your pain or used as treatment to reduce pain. They are usually used when other methods, such as pain medications and physical therapy, have not worked. 

There are several different types of spinal injections, including:

  • Epidural: Used to treat arm and leg pain radiating from the spine, usually due to a pinched nerve
  • Facet joint: Used to treat neck pain and middle or low back pain
  • Medial branch nerve blocks: Usually used as a diagnostic injection
  • Sacroiliac joint: Used for pain caused by issues in the sacroiliac joint
  • Trigger point injection: Used for fibromyalgia, headaches, and myofascial pain syndrome
