An epidural steroid injection is a procedure designed to reduce pain and inflammation in the spine. It is generally used to treat pain that radiates from the neck down the arms or from the low back to the legs. During the procedure, a needle is placed in the epidural space and a mix of local anesthetic and a steroid is injected. X-ray guidance is used during the procedure to ensure correct placement of the needle.
At NextPain Care, epidural steroid injections are part of our minimally invasive treatment options designed to treat various acute and chronic pain conditions. By reducing inflammation, these injections can help patients manage their pain and enhance their ability to function and participate in activities of daily living.
