Epidural Steroid Injections
A precisely placed injection calms inflammation right at the source of your pain.
Understanding
This Treatment
An epidural steroid injection delivers a small, targeted dose of anti-inflammatory medication directly into the epidural space — the area surrounding your spinal nerves. Using live imaging guidance, your physician places the medication exactly where irritated or compressed nerves need it most.
Addressing the
Real Source
When a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression causes inflammation, that inflammation is often the true source of your pain — not just the structural issue itself. By calming that inflammation directly at its source, many patients experience meaningful relief in days, not weeks, and regain mobility they had given up on.
A Clear Path,
Every Step of the Way
Positioning
You lie comfortably while the treatment area is cleaned and numbed.
Image Guidance
Live imaging confirms the exact needle placement before any medication is given.
Medication Delivery
A small dose of anti-inflammatory medication is delivered precisely to the source.
Short Recovery
You rest briefly, then go home the same day — most resume normal activity within 24 hours.
What You Can
Expect to Feel
This procedure takes about 15 minutes and is performed with real-time imaging, so your physician can see exactly where the medication is going — there is no guesswork involved. Most patients describe only mild discomfort, similar to a routine injection, and are back to normal activity within a day.
This May Be Right for You If…
- Herniated or bulging disc
- Spinal stenosis
- Sciatica or radiculopathy
- Nerve-related back or leg pain
What to Expect During Recovery
There is no incision and virtually no downtime. Most patients can drive themselves home and return to light activities the same day, with full relief typically building over 3 to 5 days.
