Spinal Epidural Injections

Spinal Epidural Injections

Back and Neck pain can be the result of a number of different issues. Pain is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong. When the vertebrae or discs are injured or affected, pressure/irritation can be put on the surrounding nerves from inflammation. This can cause pain from the neck to travel into your shoulders/arms and pain from the back to travel into your legs. Bone Spurs, Bulging/Herniated Discs, or Degeneration of Vertebrae/Discs are common causes of pain that can impact mobility and overall quality of life.

During a Spinal Epidural Injections procedure, a local anesthetic and long-lasting steroid are given near or at the source of pain using an extremely precise imaging technique known as Fluoroscopy. This helps reduce pain, inflammation/swelling, tenderness, and irritation. Some benefits of Spinal Epidural Injection include High Success Rate, Non-Surgical, In-Office same-day procedure, and Long Lasting relief up to a year.
