Epidural Steroid Injections
A minimally invasive procedure to relieve chronic back and neck pain
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).
Quick Procedure
Typically takes 10-15 minutes with minimal recovery time
Minimally Invasive
Performed with a small needle under imaging guidance
Effective Relief
Can provide months of pain relief for many patients
Who Can Benefit
Epidural steroid injections are particularly beneficial for patients with:
- Radiating back or neck pain not responding to conservative treatments
- Pain that travels down the arms or legs (radiculopathy)
- Patients seeking to delay or avoid surgery
- Those who need pain relief to participate in physical therapy
Dr. Hemani will evaluate your specific condition to determine if this procedure is right for you.
