Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections
During an ESI, a precise combination of corticosteroid medication and a local anesthetic is injected into the epidural space of the spine. This reduces inflammation around the affected nerves and helps ease pain radiating into the back, legs, arms, or shoulders. At Innovative Pain and Wellness, our experienced providers use advanced image-guided techniques to ensure accuracy and safety. The procedure is typically completed in an outpatient setting, allowing patients to return to normal activities with minimal downtime.
