Epidural Injections
Epidural steroid injections are one of the most widely used, minimally invasive treatments for back, neck, and leg pain caused by inflamed spinal nerves.
How Epidural Injections Work
An epidural steroid injection delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord and nerve roots. By reducing inflammation right at the source, the injection can dramatically reduce pain and improve function.
What to Expect
The procedure is performed under fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance to ensure precise placement. Most patients experience minimal discomfort. The entire procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, and you return home the same day.
