Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections

Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI)

Epidural steroid injections (ESIs) are a safe, minimally invasive pain management treatment designed to relieve inflammation and reduce pain in the spine and extremities. By targeting irritated spinal nerves, ESIs can provide relief from common conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, and sciatica. Many patients experience lasting relief that can range from weeks to months or even longer.

How Epidural Steroid Injections Work

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.

QUICK FACTS


Conditions that may be alleviated by epidural steroid injections include:

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, resulting in compression of the spinal cord or nerves. This condition can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the back and legs. Epidural steroid injections can help reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms associated with spinal stenosis.

Degenerative disc disease involves the gradual breakdown of the spinal discs, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Epidural steroid injections can provide relief by reducing inflammation and minimizing pain associated with this condition.

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back through the hips and down the legs. Epidural steroid injections can help reduce inflammation and relieve the pain associated with sciatica.

After spinal surgery, some individuals may experience persistent or new-onset pain. Epidural steroid injections can be used to alleviate postoperative pain and facilitate the healing process.

Arthritis affecting the facet joints of the spine can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Epidural steroid injections can provide temporary relief by reducing inflammation and easing discomfort associated with facet joint arthritis.
