TREATMENTS & PROCEDURES
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural Steroid Injections (ESIs) are a common non-surgical treatment option for relieving pain caused by inflammation of spinal nerves. This inflammation can result from conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease. ESIs deliver a combination of a local anesthetic and corticosteroid medication directly into the epidural space surrounding the spinal nerves, aiming to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
WHAT TO EXPECT
HOW DOES THE PROCEDURE WORK?
During an Epidural Steroid Injection, you'll lie on your stomach while a board-certified pain management physician uses fluoroscopy (live X-ray) guidance to precisely place a needle into the epidural space. Once the needle is correctly positioned, a combination of a local anesthetic (such as lidocaine) and a corticosteroid medication (such as cortisone) is injected into the epidural space. The local anesthetic provides immediate pain relief, while the corticosteroid reduces inflammation and may provide longer-term relief.
More Than a treatment: A Step Toward Lasting Relief
Conditions Treated:
Herniated discs: ESIs can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain caused by the compression of spinal nerves due to a herniated disc.
Spinal Stenosis: ESIs may alleviate pain and discomfort associated with spinal stenosis by reducing inflammation in the affected area and relieving pressure on the spinal nerves.
Degenerative Disc Disease: ESIs can provide relief from pain caused by inflammation and irritation of the spinal nerves due to degenerative changes in the discs.
Sciatica: ESIs may help alleviate the pain and discomfort of sciatica, a condition characterized by pain radiating from the lower back down the leg, by reducing inflammation around the affected nerve roots.

My experience at the office is always a pleasant one. The office is always so clean, check-in staff is kind and courteous, and they're also very prompt in making things run smoothly. Doctors and specialists always take the time to explain everything and go over all options with you, they speak with you as they are concerned with your situation, never treat you like just another patient. Overall my experience is always a good one and I would recommend, 10 out of 10.
