Epidural Injections
The duration of pain relief varies; some patients may experience relief for weeks, while others may benefit for several months. Depending on the individual’s response and the underlying condition, additional injections may be necessary.
The injection typically contains a combination of a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid. The anesthetic provides immediate pain relief by numbing the area, while the corticosteroid reduces inflammation, offering longer-term relief. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis and takes about 15 to 30 minutes
Epidural injections are a common and effective treatment for managing chronic pain, particularly in the spine. These injections deliver medication directly into the epidural space, the area surrounding the spinal cord and nerves, to alleviate pain and inflammation.
