Epidural Steroid Injection

Epidural injection is perhaps the single most useful intervention for chronic pain available at the Interventional Pain Center. The epidural space allows unique access to the spinal cord and nerve roots at every level of the spine. Epidural injections provide a safe, low-risk, nearly painless means of delivering a variety of medications directly to the nervous system. Once delivered into the epidural space, these medications may block pain impulses, stabilize irritated nerve structures, reduce inflammation and swelling, and reverse the biochemical changes that are known to occur within the nervous system when pain persists.
