Treatment Process and Preparation
An epidural injection delivers an anti-inflammatory steroid into the space around the spinal nerves to help reduce swelling, relieve pressure, and ease pain. It’s commonly used to treat pain from conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or irritated nerves, helping you move more comfortably and heal more effectively.
How to Prepare
-
Before your procedure, discuss your medications with your provider, as some may need to be paused.
-
Stay well-hydrated, eat a light meal, and arrange for a ride home if sedation is planned.
What to Expect During the Treatment
-
A local anesthetic and steroid are injected using X-ray or ultrasound guidance.
-
The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.
-
Monitoring is brief, and patients can usually leave the same day.
Recovery Time
Most patients can resume light activities the same day or by the following day. Some soreness at the injection site is normal and usually resolves within a few days. Full pain relief may take several days to develop as the inflammation decreases.
