Epidural injections are a minimally invasive treatment option that can provide relief from a variety of conditions, including herniated discs, degenerated discs, and spinal stenosis. Our pain specialists are experienced in performing epidural injections and can help you find the relief you need.
Epidural steroid injections are a powerful and widely used pain management injection designed to reduce inflammation and provide long-lasting relief. At Pacific Pain & Wellness Group, we offer this minimally invasive treatment to help restore function and improve quality of life for patients suffering from chronic pain.
What Are Epidural Steroid Injections?
Epidural steroid injections are a type of pain management injection used when other treatments — like physical therapy or medication — have not provided sufficient relief. They are not typically the first line of defense, and our team recommends trying conservative therapies first. However, if there is no improvement after six weeks, our pain management specialists may suggest epidural injections as a next step.
How Epidural Steroid Injections Help Manage Pain
This treatment can relieve pain in the spine, neck, arms, lower back, and legs — especially in cases of conditions like spinal stenosis, herniated discs, spondylolisthesis, and nerve-related pain such as sciatica. Epidural injections reduce inflammation around irritated nerves, which in turn decreases pain and supports healing.
What Is an Epidural Corticosteroid Injection?
An epidural corticosteroid injection is a specialized pain management injection that delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly into the epidural space — the fat-filled area between your vertebrae and the protective sac surrounding your spinal cord.
Why Consider an Epidural Pain Management Injection?
This procedure can help patients:
- Reduce or eliminate pain without surgery
- Improve mobility and daily functioning
- Avoid or minimize the use of opioid pain medications
- Regain the ability to participate in work, physical therapy, or recreational activities
