Subject: ES Injections, diagnostic/therapeutic indicating a number

Anyone familiar with how to indicate diagnostic or therapeutic injections by a number? Doc says therapeutic injection number 1, of course some are diagnostic injection # x. Should that go in a separate heading, or just as part of procedure description sentence? Have no samples from this practice to go by. Thanks for any info.
