Epidural Steroid Injections

An epidural steroid injection is a minimally invasive procedure where steroids and a local anesthetic are directly injected into the epidural space of the spine. This targeted delivery aims to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain at the source.

This procedure is used to treat radicular pain stemming from conditions like sciatica, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis. By addressing the inflammation around compressed spinal nerves, it helps manage the pain associated with these issues.

The benefits of this injection include quick pain relief and reduced inflammation. This can improve function and potentially postpone or prevent the need for surgery. Most patients can typically resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
