Epidural Steroid Injections

An epidural steroid injection is one of the most effective treatments for radiating nerve pain caused by conditions like a herniated disc or spinal stenosis. When a nerve root in the spine becomes compressed and inflamed, it sends pain signals down its path, causing sciatica (leg pain) or cervical radiculopathy (arm pain). This procedure involves injecting a powerful anti-inflammatory medication (a corticosteroid) directly into the epidural space around the inflamed nerve, calming the irritation and providing profound relief.
