Epidural Steroid Injection
Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection
Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI) are used to treat lower back chronic pain syndromes known as lumbar radiculopathy also known as radicular pain which radiates from the spine down to a leg. This injection involves medication, typically steroid injected directly into the outer part of the dural sac that surrounds the spinal cord. The injected medication will reduce nerve pain, inflammation and irritation. During the procedure, a live x-ray called fluoroscopy is used to guide the needle to the correct area.
Thoracic Epidural Steroid Injection
Thoracic Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI) are used to treat mid back- chronic pain syndromes known as lumbar radiculopathy also known as radicular pain which radiates from the spine down to a leg. This injection involves medication, typically steroid injected directly into the outer part of the dural sac that surrounds the spinal cord. The injected medication will reduce nerve pain, inflammation and irritation. During the procedure, a live x-ray called fluoroscopy is used to guide the needle to the correct area.
Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection
Caudal Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI) are used to treat lower back chronic pain syndromes known as lumbar radiculopathy also known as radicular pain which radiates from the spine down to a leg. This injection involves medication, typically steroid injected directly into the outer part of the dural sac that surrounds the spinal cord. The injected medication will reduce nerve pain, inflammation and irritation. During the procedure, a live x-ray called fluoroscopy is used to guide the needle to the correct area.
Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection
Transforaminal epidural steroid injection is a minimally invasive treatment in which a steroid medication is injected to help reduce the inflammation of the nerve and alleviate the pain. This injection helps to relieve pain in lower back, legs and feet caused by sciatica, herniated discs and other back problems. During the procedure, a live x-ray called fluoroscopy is used to guide the needle to the correct area.
