Interventional Pain Procedure
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.)
Targeting the Source
Image guidance is used to precisely locate the irritated nerve roots causing your pain.
The Injection
A steroid and local anesthetic are placed into the epidural space to reduce inflammation around the nerves.
Recovery
A quick outpatient visit — many patients feel meaningful relief within a few days.
Are You a Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for an epidural steroid injection if: (Placeholder — a consultation confirms candidacy.)
