Epidural Steroid Injections
Severe back, neck, or leg pain caused by pinched nerves can significantly impact your mobility and daily life. When inflamed spinal nerves lead to radiating pain, numbness, or tingling, Epidural Steroid Injections (ESIs) offer a safe, time-tested, and non-surgical option to reduce swelling and deliver fast relief.
An ESI is a precise, x-ray guided outpatient procedure that delivers a powerful antiinflammatory medication (a corticosteroid) directly into the epidural space—the area surrounding the spinal cord and spinal nerves.
By delivering medication directly to the precise site of irritation, ESIs flush away inflammatory proteins and reduce swelling around compressed nerves far more effectively than oral medications
Common conditions treated with ESIs are herniated or bulging discs, sciatica (lumbar radiculopathy), spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and spondylolisthesis.
Key benefits of ESIs :
-Targeted pain relief
-Restores function and mobility
-Non-surgical care
-Quick outpatient procedure
