Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injection (ESI) is a technique for relieving pain from spinal stenosis and spinal disc herniation. Using a needle, relatively small amounts of corticosteroids together with a local anesthetic are injected into the epidural space around the spinal cord and spinal nerves. This injection can be performed from a translaminar or a transforaminal approach. The anti-inflammatory effect of the corticosteroid is responsible for providing pain relief when radiculopathy exists.
