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, Drs. David Lee and John Lee are 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.

Wave Pain Specialists Reviews
Dr. Lee is a lifesaver! I sustained 3 herniated disc's about 18 years ago from an auto accident where I was rear-ended by a drunk driver. Since that time, my pain level began to increase to an 8 or 9 (out of 10) on a daily basis. Living with pain is no joke and affected me physically and mentally. I tried physical therapy, over the counter meds, and holistic approaches that provided minimal relief for brief periods of time. After visiting 3 different doctors, all recommended surgery. A family member found Dr. Lee and in my first visit, he suggested epidural shots to help relieve my pain. He was thorough in his explanations, allowed me to watch the procedure, and educated me throughout the whole process. After my first shot, I felt a level 10 pain for about 3 days, and then it was gone! I was/have been pain free for over 6 months. I can exercise, concentrate, sleep, and feel happy again! He has helped me so much and I appreciate that we found an alternative that has been lifesaving compared to having invasive surgery. Thank you Dr. Lee. No words can capture the relief that you have provided me with!!
I had one treatment with Dr. Lee and it was absolutely amazing. My knee feels so much better, but what amazes me the most is that they not trying to do more treatments and get more money out of you. They are Honest and very professional they care for the patients not their wallets. Thank you Dr. Lee
Super clean brand new office. All new furnishings etc. Staff and doctors are very warm and friendly. Great bedside manor. I highly recommend a consultation.
Went to a few pain clinics for my neck due to a basketball injury. This was the only place that actually helped me with my pain right away. Spoke to John and David Lee and both were very easy to talk to and attentive with my care, nothing felt rushed like other places.
I was treated for chronic neck pain and Dr. John Lee was incredibly compassionate and professional. It had been causing me significant pain in my daily life and so I felt I needed relief. He eventually recommended a treatment for me. I was glad we were able to find one that helped me so effectively. His office is also at a convenient location with plenty of parking (2nd floor of the Grandview Medical Plaza). Making an appointment was seamless and his staff was also friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend them!
