Epidural Steroid Injections

Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI)

Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI) are a minimally invasive treatment designed to alleviate pain in the spine and extremities resulting from inflamed spinal nerves. This procedure is often effective for conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica. The relief provided by ESIs can vary, lasting anywhere from several days to months, or in some cases, even years.

What is an epidural steroid injection (ESI)?

Epidural steroid injections are a minimally invasive procedure where a combination of corticosteroid medication and a local anesthetic is injected into the epidural space of the spine. This targeted approach aims to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, postoperative pain, and facet joint arthritis.

At Innovative Injury Solutions, our skilled providers utilize the latest techniques and technology to administer epidural steroid injections with precision and accuracy. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning minimal downtime and a quick recovery period for patients.

QUICK FACTS


Conditions that may be alleviated by epidural steroid injections include:

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, resulting in compression of the spinal cord or nerves. This condition can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the back and legs. Epidural steroid injections can help reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms associated with spinal stenosis.

Degenerative disc disease involves the gradual breakdown of the spinal discs, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Epidural steroid injections can provide relief by reducing inflammation and minimizing pain associated with this condition.

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back through the hips and down the legs. Epidural steroid injections can help reduce inflammation and relieve the pain associated with sciatica.

After spinal surgery, some individuals may experience persistent or new-onset pain. Epidural steroid injections can be used to alleviate postoperative pain and facilitate the healing process.

Arthritis affecting the facet joints of the spine can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Epidural steroid injections can provide temporary relief by reducing inflammation and easing discomfort associated with facet joint arthritis.
