How are Epidural Injections used as a tool for diagnosis? An injection can help locate the source of pain. For example, a selective nerve root block or a selective epidural will block the pain of specific nerves. The effect is temporary, but if you feel relief, it may indicate the source of the pain. But if you feel no relief, it may mean that the source of the pain is either at another level of your spine, or in a different structure completely. These results help determine the most appropriate course of treatment to lead to long term benefit. In what sites are the medicine injected? The medicine may be is injected in a number of different areas depending upon what is believed to be the source of the pain, and depending upon the goals of the injection. Injections are diagnostic, therapeutic, or both. The injection can be done in the epidural space. This is the area within the spinal canal, where the intervertebral disks are and spinal cord exist. A specific nerve root may also be targeted to determine the nerve root level which is of the pain, your doctor Medicine is then injected directly onto that nerve root.
