"First visit and it was a great experience. The front desk staff was very welcoming.I felt heard by the provider as he actively listened to my concerns and symptoms. I would recommend this center to anyone that is in need of a pain provider."

Danielle K

"I am delighted by the results. I limped into the office in a great deal of pain which I endured for months. After a few weeks of pain management, I was back to my swift walking. My last appointment recommended suggestions for maintenance and coming back if necessary. Great experience and friendly staff!"

Conditions Treated With Epidural Steroid Injections

Herniated & Bulging Discs

A herniated or bulging disc can irritate or compress nearby spinal nerves, potentially causing back or neck pain along with radiating symptoms.

Sciatica

Sciatica occurs when irritation or compression affects the sciatic nerve, often causing pain that travels from the lower back into the buttock and leg.

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis occurs when spaces within the spine become narrowed, which can place pressure on nerves and contribute to back or leg symptoms.

Radicular Pain

Radicular pain occurs when a spinal nerve root becomes irritated or compressed. Symptoms may travel along the path of the affected nerve and can include pain, tingling, or numbness.

FIND OUT IF AN EPIDURAL MAY HELP

Types of Epidural Steroid Injections

The appropriate injection technique depends on the location of your symptoms, the suspected source of nerve irritation, and your individual anatomy.

Interlaminar Epidural Injection

Medication is delivered into the epidural space through an approach between the vertebrae. This technique may be used for certain cervical, thoracic, or lumbar conditions.

Transforaminal Epidural Injection

Medication is delivered near a specific spinal nerve root through the opening where the nerve exits the spine. This approach may be considered when pain follows a particular nerve distribution.

Caudal Epidural Injection

Medication is delivered through an opening at the base of the sacrum. A caudal approach may be considered for certain lower-back and radiating pain conditions.

Cervical Epidural Injection

A cervical epidural injection targets the epidural space in the neck and may be considered for certain types of neck pain and radiating arm pain associated with irritated cervical nerves.

FIND THE RIGHT TREATMENT

The Path to Relief

01

Initial Consultation

Your provider will discuss your symptoms, medical history, previous treatments, and how your pain affects your daily life.

02

Diagnostic Evaluation

A physical examination and, when appropriate, imaging studies can help your provider identify the potential source of your symptoms and determine whether an epidural injection may be appropriate.

03

Image-Guided Injection

During the procedure, your provider uses imaging guidance to position the needle accurately before delivering the medication to the targeted area.

04

Follow-Up & Recovery

After the procedure, you'll receive instructions about activity and recovery. Your provider can assess your response to treatment and determine the next step in your care.

What to Expect During an Epidural Steroid Injection

Epidural steroid injections are generally performed as outpatient procedures. The current PainHelp site states that its epidural injections typically take approximately 15–30 minutes and use real-time X-ray guidance. MVPS Epidural Injection Information

Before treatment: Your provider reviews your medical history and medications and confirms that the procedure is appropriate.

During treatment: You are positioned comfortably while imaging guidance is used to accurately direct the needle.

After treatment: You are monitored briefly and given instructions for your recovery.

Results: Relief varies depending on the underlying condition and individual patient. An epidural injection is not a permanent cure for the structural cause of spinal pain.

As with any medical procedure, epidural injections have potential risks. These can include temporary soreness, headache, infection, bleeding, or nerve-related complications. Your provider will discuss the specific risks and benefits with you before treatment.

Medical Insurance & Coverage

Coverage for epidural steroid injections depends on your insurance plan, diagnosis, medical necessity, and individual policy requirements.
