Epidural Steroid Injection
Epidurals are injections designed to alleviate nerve inflammation. This inflammation can result from herniated disc material causing a chemical irritation or from compression due to discs or bone spurs. For those seeking long-term relief from pain and inflammation, we are here to assist you.

What Is An Epidural Steroid Injection?
​
An epidural steroid injection is a medical procedure where a corticosteroid, often combined with a local anesthetic, is injected into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord. This space contains nerve roots that can become inflamed or compressed, causing pain. The purpose of the injection is to reduce inflammation and relieve pain, particularly in conditions like sciatica, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or other back and leg pain issues. It is commonly used for both diagnostic purposes and as part of a broader pain management plan. Epidural steroid injections are often performed under imaging guidance to ensure accuracy.
