Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections are injections of a combination steroid-anesthetic into the “epidural space” which is right outside of the membrane that protects your spinal cord. These injections treat the pain of an inflamed nerve by reducing that nerve swelling. Doctors use epidural steroid injections to relieve pain during and after surgery, as well as to manage chronic pain. If you have a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or some other problem that’s pressing on a nerve in your spine, an epidural steroid injection may be able to help. The following are the types of epidural steroid injections that the Texas Pain Experts team performs.
CERVICAL EPIDURAL STEROID INJECTION
A cervical epidural steroid injection treats the pain of an inflamed nerve in your cervical spine which is the neck region of your spine. It relieves nerve swelling caused by a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or some other problem that’s pressing on a nerve.
LUMBAR EPIDURAL STEROID INJECTION
A lumbar epidural steroid injection treats the pain of an inflamed nerve in your lumbar spine which is the lower region of your spine. This injection procedure is performed to relieve low back and radiating leg pain. Steroid medication can reduce the swelling and inflammation caused by many different spinal conditions.
THORACIC EPIDURAL STEROID INJECTION
A thoracic epidural steroid injection treats the pain of an inflamed nerve in your thoracic spine which is the middle section of your spine that extends from your neck area to the bottom of your ribs. This outpatient procedure is an injection performed to relieve pain in the upper back caused by many different spinal conditions.
