Epidurals, Injections and Shots
for Back Pain & Sciatica
What is an Epidural Injection?
An epidural injection is a medical procedure in which a local anesthetic and/or steroid medication is injected into the epidural space of the cervical, thoracic or lumbar region. The medication is delivered through a thin needle that is guided under X-ray guidance or ultrasound guidance.
The local anesthetic numbs the area and provides immediate pain relief, while the steroid medication reduces inflammation and provides longer-term pain relief. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and may require multiple injections over a period of time for optimal effect.
This is a non-surgical treatment option that will help alleviate acute pain and inflammation in the neck, arms, lower back and legs caused by a variety of conditions, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or sciatica. By reducing pain, an epidural injection can improve mobility and allow the patient to perform daily activities with greater ease.

Why Are Injections Used for
Back Pain & Sciatica?
Targeted Pain Relief
Injections deliver medication directly to the source of the pain, such as inflamed nerve roots, joints, or muscles, providing more immediate and concentrated relief than oral medications.
Minimally Invasive
Unlike surgical options, injection treatments are minimally invasive, usually requiring only a needle and some form of image guidance (like fluoroscopy) for accurate placement.
Reduced Inflammation
Corticosteroid injections are powerful anti-inflammatory medications that can help reduce swelling, providing long-lasting pain relief and improving mobility.
