Epidural steroid injections are a targeted treatment for back pain caused by herniated discs, arthritis, or pinched nerves. The medication is placed into the epidural space under imaging guidance, right where the inflamed nerves are located. By reducing inflammation, the injection helps relieve pain, decrease pressure, and restore mobility. This relief makes it easier for patients to continue physical therapy and stay active, often delaying or avoiding the need for surgery. #painmanagement #pain

Epidural steroid injections are commonly used to manage back and neck pain caused by arthritis, herniated discs, or pinched nerves. The medication is placed into the epidural space of the spine under imaging guidance, reducing inflammation around the nerves. This treatment helps calm pain, restore mobility, and make daily activities more comfortable. For many patients, epidurals provide relief that allows them to continue physical therapy and avoid heavier reliance on pain medication or surgery.
