Interventional Pain Procedure
Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI)
Ease the pain that radiates down your back, neck, or leg, and move freely again. (Placeholder.)
What an Epidural Steroid Injection Treats
An ESI is often recommended for pain that radiates from an irritated spinal nerve. Anti-inflammatory medication is placed directly around the affected nerves to calm the inflammation driving your symptoms, often helping you avoid surgery and get back to moving comfortably through your day. (Placeholder.)
- Sciatica and radiating leg pain
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal stenosis
- Nerve-root inflammation (radiculopathy) in the neck or back
How It Works
The injection is a quick, image-guided outpatient procedure that targets the source of your pain directly, so relief goes right where you need it. (Placeholder.)
Targeting the Source
Image guidance is used to precisely locate the irritated nerve roots causing your pain.
The Injection
A steroid and local anesthetic are placed into the epidural space to reduce inflammation around the nerves.
Recovery
A quick outpatient visit, and many patients feel meaningful relief within a few days.
