What Conditions Epidural Injections Can Treat

Epidural injections can help with a variety of conditions such as:

• Herniated or slipped discs
• Sciatica
• Degenerative disc disease
• Thickening ligaments due to spinal arthritis
• Postherpetic neuralgia
• Joint cysts
• Bone spurs

Epidural injections can alleviate back, arm, or leg pains caused by inflammation in your spinal nerves. This treatment can prevent needing surgery or be an effective option for pain management while planning your surgery.

What Happens During an Epidural Injection Procedure?

This is an outpatient procedure that generally only requires a local anesthetic, although you may request a mild sedative when we discuss how the treatment works during earlier appointments. We will also go over your current medications and determine if you need to make any adjustments for the day of the procedure.

You will usually lie prone during the 10 to 20 minutes the injection requires. We also inject you with a contrast dye and use x-rays to perform the epidural injection in the precise location we are treating. Once we have completed the injection, we will monitor you for a short while before discharging you.

You can usually resume your normal activities on the following day. You should experience pain relief within one to three days and steroids can take up to ten days to become effective. The results can last up to several months depending on your situation. We will determine how often you should get epidural injections for your well-being. We can recommend this type of treatment up to four times a year, and for chronic conditions injections generally occur with three to six months between sessions.
