Let’s explore how epidural injections work, what conditions they treat, and why Anamay Pain Clinic is a trusted destination for pain management solutions.
What Are Epidural Injections?
Epidural injections are a form of minimally invasive treatment where corticosteroids are injected into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord. These steroids help reduce inflammation around irritated nerves, which in turn helps to palliative pain, numbness, and tingling often associated with spinal conditions.
Conditions Treated with Epidural Injections
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Sciatica or nerve root compression
- Degenerative disc disease
- Post-surgical back pain
- Radiculopathy (radiating nerve pain)
These injections can target both chronic pain and acute flare-ups, making them a versatile option in pain injection therapy.
How the Procedure Works
The epidural injection procedure at Anamay Pain Clinic is performed with precision and care. It involves the following steps:
- Patient Assessment: Dr. Megha Shah begins with a detailed medical evaluation and imaging studies to identify the root cause of your pain.
- Positioning and Preparation: The patient is positioned comfortably, and the injection site is sterilised. A local anaesthetic is often applied to minimize discomfort.
- Guided Injection: Using fluoroscopy (live X-ray imaging), the needle is guided accurately into the epidural space, and the steroid medication is injected.
- Observation: Patients are observed briefly after the injection before being discharged with aftercare instructions.
The entire process is typically completed within 30 to 60 minutes, and patients can return home the same day.
