Epidural Injection Cervical
Epidural Injection Cervical
Epidural injection cervical is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve pain in the neck, shoulders, and arms caused by nerve compression in the cervical spine. A small amount of corticosteroid medication is injected into the epidural space of the spine to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
​
This outpatient procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes and offers benefits such as minimal discomfort, quick relief, and swift recovery. It is ideal for patients with persistent neck or arm pain, numbness, or weakness that has not responded to conservative treatments.
​
Epidural injections can effectively alleviate pain and enhance the patient’s quality of life by reducing inflammation and pressure on the spinal nerves.

How Epidural Injection Cervical Works
Epidural injection cervical involves injecting a corticosteroid and a local anesthetic into the epidural space around the spinal cord. Guided by live imaging (fluoroscopy or ultrasound), the precise location is targeted to ensure accuracy and effectiveness.
​
The medication reduces inflammation and nerve irritation, leading to significant pain relief. This procedure's minimally invasive nature results in shorter recovery times, minimal discomfort, and preserved spinal function. Epidural injection cervical is highly effective in treating conditions that cause neck, shoulder, and arm pain, significantly enhancing patients' quality of life.
