Epidural steroid injections can be an effective treatment for managing back pain. This procedure involves injecting steroid medications directly into the epidural space in your spine to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
Epidural steroid injections can provide both short and long-term relief from pain due to a variety of conditions, including herniated or slipped disks, spinal stenosis, sciatica, spondylolisthesis, and degenerative disc disease.
They can also be used to treat pinched nerves, which can cause radiating pain down your arms or legs.
The injections can be performed in an outpatient setting, typically in a doctor's office or a hospital. Before the procedure, your doctor will perform a physical exam and review any imaging studies you have of your back.
During the procedure, your doctor will inject a steroid medication and a local anesthetic into your epidural space. The injection may provide temporary pain relief, but the steroids will need time to take effect and reduce inflammation.
The effects of the injection can last anywhere from several days to several weeks, and sometimes up to several months. In some cases, a series of injections may be necessary to achieve the best results.
Epidural steroid injections are a safe and effective treatment option for managing back pain, and can help you avoid more invasive treatments such as surgery. However, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor to determine if it is the right treatment for you.
