Epidural Steroid Injection

Epidural steroid injections are a minimally invasive procedure used to manage pain caused by inflammation around a nerve in the spine. These injections deliver a combination of corticosteroids and anesthetic into the epidural space around the spinal nerves. space, targeting areas of inflammation that may contribute to discomfort. Conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or sciatica are often associated with this type of pain.

The treatment is intended to help reduce inflammation and may alleviate pain, potentially improving mobility for patients experiencing back or neck discomfort. While some patients report relief lasting weeks to months, the duration and effectiveness of the results can vary depending on the individual condition and response to the injection.

Patients who have not found sufficient relief from conservative treatments may benefit from epidural steroid injections. At Compass Pain and Wellness, our experienced physicians carefully assess each patient's unique symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals to determine if this procedure is the right option for managing their pain effectively.
