About Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections are minimally invasive procedures where anti-inflammatory medication is delivered directly into the epidural space of the spine. This targeted approach helps reduce inflammation and pain signals in affected nerve roots, providing relief for patients suffering from various spinal conditions, such as radiculopathy (commonly known as sciatica).
Minimally Invasive
Performed with a small needle under imaging guidance
Effective Relief
Can provide months of pain relief for many patients
Who Can Benefit
Diagnostic nerve blocks are particularly beneficial for patients with:
- Undiagnosed chronic pain conditions
- Pain that has not been adequately diagnosed with imaging or other tests
- Complex pain patterns involving multiple potential sources
- Patients considering more invasive procedures who need confirmation of a pain source
- Those with pain that doesn't match typical patterns or imaging findings
Dr. Hemani will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if diagnostic nerve blocks are appropriate for your specific condition and which nerves should be targeted.
