Details.
A non-surgical, office-based procedure for pain conditions including neck pain, lower back pain, upper back pain, leg pain, arm pain, herniated discs, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, and sciatica. Intravenous sedation may be administered, the skin and tissue are numbed with local anesthetic, and the physician uses X-ray guidance to inject an anesthetic and cortisone steroid solution into the epidural space. Afterward, the patient is taken to an office recovery room and discharged shortly after. Some patients benefit from one injection, while more severe conditions may require more than one.
