Epidural injections are a common form of pain management that can effectively relieve the pain in your neck, back, legs, and arms. They work so well because they involve injecting medication directly into the epidural space surrounding your spinal cord.
The medication used often includes a local anesthetic to numb the area, a steroid to reduce inflammation, or a combination of the two. It’s easier than you may think. The procedure is performed under the guidance of imaging technology, like fluoroscopy or ultrasound, to ensure the precise placement of the medication.
We might recommend epidural injections for you if you suffer from chronic pain due to conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or sciatica. The relief they offer is second to none, overall improving your quality of life. You’ll be able to do what used to be too painful.
