  2. Epidural Steroid Injection For Back Pain Every year, in the United States, nine to twenty-five percent of people have low back discomfort that extends to the area below the knee. It is the sixth most frequent reason for patients to visit a doctor since it happens frequently. Most of the injuries get better in a few weeks with aspirin, some modest exercise, and bed rest. However, disc problems might persist and make physical therapy difficult.

  3. What Is A Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection? An anti-inflammatory drug, such as a steroid or corticosteroid, is injected into the epidural area surrounding the spinal nerves in your low back during a lumbar epidural steroid injection (lumbar ESI). The main objective of lumbar epidural steroid injections is to treat chronic pain brought on by injury or illness that causes irritation and inflammation of the spinal nerve roots in your low back. Lumbar radiculopathy, also known as radicular pain, is a type of persistent discomfort that can radiate from your low back to your hips, legs, and feet.

  4. What Happens During A Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection? To treat chronic pain, medical professionals may advise lumbar epidural steroid injections. A steroid or corticosteroid drug is injected by a medical professional into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord in your low back. Spinal nerves, connective tissue, fat, and blood arteries make up the injection site in the epidural area. The lumbar ESI injection is injected in this region, which allows it to reach the inflamed nerve area. As a result, there is reduced edema and irritation. Various varieties of lumbar ESI don’t work on everyone, just like cortisone.
