Common questions about epidural steroid injections
What is an epidural steroid injection?
There are different types of epidural steroid injections to offer relief in specific areas.
Cervical
The injection is administered above the nerve root opening and right outside the epidural space. We go in through the affected side of your neck to help rid you of possible pain in the neck and arm.
Caudal
The injection is administered into the sacral hiatus directly above the tailbone. Placement is dependent on whichever side is affected by pain.
Lumbar
The injection is administered to either side of the spinal cord into the nerve canal. It goes straight for the affected nerve root to help reduce the inflammation in the epidural space. This relieves lower back or leg pain.
What conditions can an epidural steroid injection treat?
An Epidural Steroid Injection delivers anti-inflammatory medication near spinal nerves to help relieve nerve irritation. It may help manage Back Pain, Neck Pain, Sciatica, and symptoms associated with Spinal Stenosis or Discogenic Pain, particularly when inflammation or nerve-root irritation contributes to symptoms.
How long does pain relief from an epidural steroid injection last?
Pain relief varies depending on the condition and type of injection. Some patients experience relief for 3 to 6 months.
Are epidural steroid injections painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure, like a brief sting or pressure. A local anesthetic may be used to help minimize pain and keep you comfortable.
How long does an epidural steroid injection procedure last?
10–30 minutes
