Epidural Steroid Injections

Epidurals aren’t just given to women during childbirth, in fact they can be used to relieve pain when a steroid is injected. Epidural steroids can be helpful for a number of conditions. Depending on the location of the injection this procedure can help relieve low back and radiating leg pain when performed in the lower back. Alternatively, this injection can be performed in the neck to treat neck and pain radiating to the arms caused by a inflamed nerve in your neck. Steroid medication can reduce the swelling and inflammation caused by spinal conditions. If you have a herniated disc, spinal stenosis or some other problem that’s pressing on a nerve, it may help you.
