WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW

What Is an Epidural Steroid Injection?

An epidural steroid injection is a minimally invasive procedure that delivers a powerful anti-inflammatory corticosteroid (steroid) and a local anesthetic directly into the epidural space around the spinal cord and nerve roots. This space often becomes inflamed due to pressure from conditions like herniated discs or bone spurs.

The steroid reduces inflammation, while the anesthetic provides immediate—but temporary—relief, allowing the steroid time to take full effect.

Herniated or bulging discs
Spinal stenosis
Degenerative disc disease
Sciatica
Joint cysts
Bone spurs
Radiculopathy (pain radiating to the arms or legs)

Preparation

You’ll lie on a treatment table, and the skin over your spine will be sterilized. A local anesthetic is applied to numb the area.

Fluoroscopy Guidance

Using fluoroscopy (live X-ray), your physician precisely guides a thin needle into the epidural space and injects a contrast dye to confirm proper placement.

Medication Injection

A mix of steroid and anesthetic is slowly injected into the targeted area around the spinal nerves.

Monitoring & Recovery

You’ll be monitored for 15–20 minutes post-injection before being released. If you receive sedation, you’ll need a driver to take you home and should avoid strenuous activity for the rest of the day.

Some patients experience immediate relief from the anesthetic
Full relief from the steroid typically begins within 2–5 days
You may resume light activities the same day, unless otherwise advised
Avoid heavy lifting or intense exercise for 24–48 hours

Pain relief can last from several weeks to several months depending on the condition and individual response. Repeat injections may be scheduled as part of your treatment plan—generally no more than three per year.
