What is an Epidural?
Epidural injection is a procedure for injecting Anti Inflammatory medication into the epidural space around your spinal cord and nerves in your back/ The drug lowers pressure on the nerves and decreases inflammation and swelling, resulting in pain relief. It is a fast and minimally invasive procedure usually performed on as a day care procedure in the hospital.
Why are Epidurals Necessary?
Epidural Injections are required when the back or leg pain is due to compression of the nerves that are not responsive to conservative methods. Pain can be debilitating and severe due to herniated discs or spinal stenosis. An epidural procedure introduces anti-inflammatory medication directly to the area of the problem. It provides short-term and long-term pain relief and does not require surgery.
