— Epidural Steroid Injections
Calm the nerve, quiet the pain.
Targeted anti-inflammatory medication delivered near irritated spinal nerves to reduce back, neck, and leg pain.
— What it is
Epidural Steroid Injections
When a disc bulge, bone spur, or narrowed canal presses on a spinal nerve, the nerve becomes inflamed — and that inflammation is often what turns a mechanical problem into burning, shooting, radiating pain. An epidural steroid injection places long-acting anti-inflammatory medication into the epidural space right beside the affected nerve, where it can work directly instead of circulating through your whole body.
- A small amount of steroid, often combined with local anesthetic, is placed into the epidural space next to the irritated nerve root.
- The medication reduces swelling around the nerve, which reduces the radiating pain, tingling, and numbness the nerve is producing.
- It is performed with live X-ray guidance and contrast so placement is confirmed, not estimated.
- The whole appointment usually takes well under an hour, and the injection itself only minutes.
— Who it helps
This may be right for you if
Pain travels from your low back down the buttock and leg (sciatica), or from your neck into the shoulder and arm.
You have a herniated, bulging, or degenerated disc pressing on a nerve.
You have spinal stenosis and pain that worsens with standing or walking.
Rest, medication, or physical therapy has not given you enough relief.
You want to avoid or postpone spine surgery and try a targeted option first.
— What to expect
Your visit, step by step.
- 01
Consultation
We review your history, symptoms, and imaging, and examine you to identify the likely nerve level involved.
- 02
Preparation
You lie comfortably, the skin is cleaned, and a local anesthetic numbs the injection site.
- 03
Guided injection
Using live imaging and contrast dye, the needle is positioned and the medication is delivered precisely.
- 04
Recovery & follow-up
You rest briefly, then go home the same day. Relief may build over several days as inflammation settles, and we follow up to plan next steps.
