Epidural injections involve the injection of medication, usually a combination of a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid, into the epidural space around the spinal cord. This procedure is commonly used to alleviate pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica. The local anaesthetic provides immediate pain relief by numbing nerves, while the corticosteroid helps reduce inflammation for longer-term effects. The epidural space is the outermost part of the spinal canal, located just outside the protective membrane called the dura mater.
The injection is typically administered by a qualified healthcare professional, such as an anesthesiologist or pain management specialist. The goal of an epidural spinal injection is to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain caused by various conditions affecting the spine and surrounding tissues
