Epidural Steroid Injections (ESIs) are a common and effective treatment for reducing inflammation and pain associated with nerve root compression in the spine. These injections deliver corticosteroids directly into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord, offering rapid relief from pain and allowing patients to progress with rehabilitative therapy more comfortably.
Ideal for patients suffering from conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or radiculopathy, ESIs are a cornerstone of non-surgical pain management. By targeting the source of inflammation, these injections can significantly reduce pain symptoms, improve mobility, and decrease the need for oral medications.
