A Back Pain Treatment Option: Epidural Steroid Injection
Epidural Steroid Injections, or ESIs, are a minimally invasive treatment option used to relieve back pain and inflammation. These injections reduce inflammation and block pain signals in your spine.
During the procedure, a combination of corticosteroid medication and a local anesthetic is injected into the epidural space surrounding your spinal nerves¹. The corticosteroid medication decreases inflammation, reduces pressure, and alleviates pain. The local anesthetic numbs the nerves in the area – providing immediate pain relief, too.
At FPG, we offer multiple types of ESIs, such as:
- Lumbar ESIs to alleviate discomfort and pain in the lower back.
- Cervical ESIs to improve mobility in the neck and upper back.
- Thoracic ESIs to provide pain relief in the mid-back and thoracic spine.
- Transforaminal ESIs to reduce inflammation for nerve-related pain in the spine.
Each of these injections targets a different area of the body. Based on your personalized treatment plan, our doctors will recommend the appropriate ESI to help relieve your pain.
How ESIs Can Help You
If you’re struggling with spine or back pain, ESIs offer several benefits, such as:
- Effective Pain Relief – The steroid medication injected during the procedure decreases inflammation in the affected area. It targets the source of your back pain and relieves your discomfort. Over time, you’ll improve your mobility and resume your normal, daily activities.
- Minimally Invasive – These injections are minimally invasive and can be performed on an outpatient basis². The procedure usually takes a few minutes to complete. This means less downtime for you and a quicker return to your daily routine.
- Long-lasting Results – While the duration of your pain relief depends on many factors, you can experience long-lasting results after an injection³. It can provide spine or back pain relief for several months, allowing you to enjoy an improved quality of life.
- Improved Mobility – By reducing inflammation and alleviating back pain, these injections can increase your mobility and range of motion. This means you can get back on your feet and engage in activities you enjoy without discomfort.
ESIs offer an effective way to manage back pain by targeting the underlying cause of the discomfort.
How the Procedure Works
ESIs are typically performed under fluoroscopic guidance to ensure accuracy and safety. A fluoroscope is a specialized X-ray machine that allows our doctors to visualize the injection site in real time.
By using a fluoroscope, our doctors ensure the medication is delivered to the precise location within the epidural space. This minimizes the risk of complications and maximizes the effectiveness of the treatment.
After the injection, you may experience some temporary discomfort at the injection site. This is normal and you’ll feel better in a few days. It’s important to follow any post-procedure instructions provided by our doctors to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications.
