At Hattiesburg Clinic, we offer epidural steroid injections as a non-surgical treatment option for neck, arm, back and leg pain. Some injections are best performed with X-ray guidance, while others are performed with ultrasound guidance. While recovery time is minimal, it is suggested that patients receiving epidural steroid injections arrange for transportation after the procedure.
Our pain management physicians provide epidural injections for more than back pain. These spine injections can be used to treat neck, arm and leg pain, too. Epidural steroid injections are most often used to treat conditions such as:
While the injection alone can provide sufficient relief, epidural steroid injections are often used in combination with other therapies to ensure a more productive recovery. Once the patient is provided relief by the ESI, he/she may be recommended to physical therapy to rehabilitate the appropriate areas.
Lumbar epidural injections are a common treatment for managing lower back pain and sciatica, often stemming from conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis. With these injections, the physician injects the medication near the area that is causing the patient lower back or leg pain. The primary goal is to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain, providing relief that can last from weeks to months. Lumbar injections are often used when other treatments, such as physical therapy or oral medications, have not provided sufficient relief.
Cervical epidural injections are designed to relieve chronic neck pain and associated symptoms like arm numbness and tingling, often resulting from conditions such as cervical disc herniation or spinal stenosis. This treatment aims to reduce inflammation and pressure on the affected nerves. The procedure not only helps to alleviate pain but also enhances mobility. Typically considered after other conservative treatments have failed, cervical epidural injections help relieve persistent upper spine and neck pain.
Committed to earning patient satisfaction and trust, the pain management physicians at Hattiesburg Clinic prioritize face-to-face, unhurried consultations to answer questions and discuss pain management treatment options. Our compassionate and knowledgeable physicians develop individualized treatment plans that consider all possible modalities, not just medications or procedures. For back, neck, leg or arm pain, treatment may include epidural steroid injections and a combination of other therapies.
