How Can an Epidural Steroid injection help with my pain?

Epidural Steroid injections are one of the most commonly used interventional treatments to address neck and low back pain, as well as radiating arm and leg pain. The epidural space can be accessed by several approaches (transforaminal, interlaminar, and caudal) in order to place steroid medication around the desired nerve roots and spinal cord area. Your physician will decide and discuss which approach will be the most effective and clinically indicated to target each patient’s specific problem.

Epidural injection serves to decrease swelling and inflammation and as a result decreasing pain. Epidural Steroid injections are indicated in painful conditions associated with herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, radiculopathy and other spinal conditions. It may take up to a series of three injections to see full benefit of the medication.
