Epidural Steroid Injections - Spine & Nerve Pain Relief in Chicago

Epidural Steroid Injections for Back, Neck & Nerve Pain Relief

Chronic back or neck pain can take a serious toll on your daily life. If inflammation around the spine is causing nerve pain or mobility issues, an epidural steroid injection (ESI) may be a great non-surgical option that can help you feel better. At Midwest Vascular and Pain Specialists, we perform these minimally invasive injections to reduce pain, ease inflammation, and help you move more comfortably./

What Is an Epidural Steroid Injection?

Herniated or Bulging Discs

Disc problems can irritate nearby nerves and cause pain in the back, neck, arms, or legs.

Spinal Stenosis

A narrowed spinal canal can place pressure on nerves and lead to pain, numbness, or weakness.

Sciatica

Irritated spinal nerves can cause pain that travels from the lower back down the leg.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Changes in the spinal discs can contribute to chronic back or neck pain and inflammation.

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!"
