What Are Epidural Steroid Injections?
Epidural steroid injections (ESI) are made up of a combination of a corticosteroid and an anesthetic numbing agent to help relieve severe pain in the lumbar, thoracic, or cervical regions. These steroid injections are delivered into the spinal nerve to reduce inflammation and promote healing in the spine. At Wave Pain Specialists, Dr. John Lee is proud to offer this rehabilitation treatment to patients in the Chino, CA area as an effective pain management option. Whether you suffer from chronic pain or have an injury, epidural steroid injections may be just the solution you need to relieve your pain and allow your body time to heal.
How Are Epidural Steroid Injections Performed?
When you come to Wave Pain Specialists for pain relief, we will begin with a consultation to determine the best treatment plan. We will discuss your unique needs and any concerns you have. Once it is determined that you are a good candidate for epidural steroid injections, we will schedule your first treatment. ESI is typically performed under general anesthesia. A needle will be inserted into the treatment area and guided using x-ray technology toward the inflamed nerve root. After positioning the needle, the steroid medication will be injected and the needle will be removed.
