Epidural Steroid Injections
A targeted, minimally invasive treatment for neck and low back pain that hasn't responded to conservative care.
What is Epidural Steroid Injections?
Epidural steroid injections (ESIs) deliver anti-inflammatory corticosteroid medication directly into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord. By reducing inflammation around irritated nerve roots, ESIs can provide significant relief from pain, numbness, and tingling that radiates into the arms or legs.
