Epidural Steroid Injections

Cervical epidural steroid injection is commonly used for Spinal nerve inflammation and chronic spinal pains can be treated effectively and efficiently. Consult Dr. Silky Patel, the best epidural specialist in Houston, Texas.

Sometimes, spinal nerve inflammation or irritation can cause severe and persistent back, leg, or neck pain. To get long-term relief from such pain conditions or syndromes, Dr. Silky Patel recommends using lumbar or cervical Epidural Steroid Injection, a type of pain management treatment that offers long-term neck pain relief. This minimally invasive treatment includes injecting anti-inflammatory medication (corticosteroid and local anesthetic) into the epidural space in the spine surrounding the damaged or inflamed area. The area between the spinal bones and nerve sac is referred to as epidural space. Epidural Steroid Injection in the neck is what most pain management doctors recommend when physical therapy and medication are inefficient in treating stiff nerve pains.

By delivering anti-inflammatory medication directly to the area surrounding the nerves that radiates or emit pain signals, lumbar epidural steroid injections can help soothe back or neck pain. If not treated, pinched or irritated nerves can develop persistent pain in the legs and arms. It requires considerable experience and expertise when performing epidural steroid injections treatment as epidural space is very near to the spinal cord. Cervical epidural injections can also help relieve pain caused by Degenerative Disc Disease and Disc Bulge. Make sure to visit Dr. Silky Patel (Spine and Epidural Specialist) if you want to get rid of chronic spinal pain and live a healthy, pain-free life.
