Epidural Steroid Injections

How It Works

A small needle is carefully inserted into the epidural space near the affected area
A combination of corticosteroid and local anesthetic is injected
The medication reduces inflammation around irritated nerve roots
Pain relief may begin within 24-48 hours and can last several months
