Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI)

An epidural steroid injection delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly around irritated spinal nerves — calming the inflammation behind radiating back, neck, and leg pain so you can move more comfortably and often avoid surgery. (Sample copy — replace with real clinical content.)

What an Epidural Steroid Injection Treats

An ESI is often recommended for pain that radiates from an irritated spinal nerve. Anti-inflammatory medication is placed directly around the affected nerves to calm the inflammation driving your symptoms — often helping you avoid surgery. (Placeholder.)

  • Sciatica and radiating leg pain
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Nerve-root inflammation (radiculopathy) in the neck or back

How It Works

The injection is a quick, image-guided outpatient procedure that targets the source of your pain directly. (Placeholder.)

STEP 1

Targeting the Source

Image guidance is used to precisely locate the irritated nerve roots causing your pain.

STEP 2

The Injection

A steroid and local anesthetic are placed into the epidural space to reduce inflammation around the nerves.

STEP 3

Recovery

A quick outpatient visit — many patients feel meaningful relief within a few days.

Are You a Candidate?

  • You have radiating pain into an arm or leg
