Epidural steroid injections

An epidural steroid injection is a procedure that involves the placement of a small needle into the epidural space to deliver an anti-inflammatory medication that is a derivative of cortisone. This injection attempts to address problems created from herniated discs, spinal stenosis and radiculopathies. The injection is performed under X-Ray guidance and can be through various routes, whether it be through an interlaminar, transforaminal or caudal approach. The approach elected by the physician is based on patient anatomy, patient symptoms and previous history. This procedure takes only a few minutes and patients usually resume their daily routine afterwards.
