Epidural Steroid Injection (ESI)

An Epidural Steroid Injection (ESI) is a non-surgical procedure that delivers long-lasting steroids (cortisone) into the epidural space—just outside the spinal cord and nerve roots—to reduce inflammation and relieve pain from conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or bone spurs.

Cervical ESI

This injection relieves pain in the neck, shoulders and arms caused by a pinched nerve (or nerves) in the cervical spine. Conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or radiculopathy can compress nerves, causing inflammation and pain. The medication injected helps decrease the swelling of nerves.

Lumbar ESI

This injection relieves lower back and radiating leg pain by delivering corticosteroids into the lumbar epidural space, reducing inflammation and swelling caused by conditions like lumbar radiculopathy, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and spondylosis.

Thoracic ESI

This non-surgical injection relieves mid-back and shoulder blade pain caused by pinched or inflamed nerves in the thoracic spine. It helps reduce swelling and inflammation from conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or arthritis.
