Benefits Of Epidural Injections

Epidural injections have several benefits; they may be temporary or long-term relief. The doctor will recommend a therapeutic approach if you do not find any relief from the injections.

  • Temporary or long-term pain relief.
  • Temporary or long-term relief from inflammation in the spine that causes pain.
  • It improves your ability to perform daily activities.
  • Identifies and treats pain from the origin.
  • Delays or reduces the need for invasive procedures.

How Epidural Injections Work

The patient lies on their stomach on a fluoroscopy (live x-ray) table. The doctor then applies betadine over the injection site. A fluoroscopic (live x-ray) is used to locate the correct vertebral level for guidance. A computer screen helps to monitor these live images. General anesthesia numbs the area, and an epidural spinal needle is inserted into the intended injection site using the x-rays. After that, the doctor injects a contrasting dye to check if the content spreads into the epidural space. If the spread is confirmed, then medication is injected into it. You may experience discomfort or tingling during needle insertion into the skin. Also, a mild burning sensation when the medication enters the epidural space. The patient is monitored for an hour in the recovery room. Any strenuous activities such as driving, lifting, flying, or more are to be avoided on the same day. Gradually, you may resume regular activities and apply ice packs between intervals to prevent skin injury. After the procedure, you must avoid hot baths or saunas for 2-3 days.
