Epidural Injection for Chronic Pain Relief

Epidural Injection for Chronic Pain Relief at Oaklands Hospital

What is an epidural injection for chronic pain relief?

An epidural injection for chronic pain relief is an outpatient procedure. It treats common causes of back problems including injuries, osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, herniated disc and spinal stenosis. These compress your spinal nerves and cause back pain that may extend to the other parts of your body such as your neck and legs.  

It only takes 15 to 30 minutes. Using an X-ray guided needle, local anaesthetic and steroid are injected into the epidural space of your spine of the affected area. They help reduce inflammation and pain from the irritated nerve and to restore movement and function.
