Conditions Treated:

Epidural injections are most commonly used to treat sciatica pain. Sciatica is a condition where pain radiates from the lower back, down the back of the legs.

They can also be used to treat lower back pain from the following conditions:

A slipped disc (herniated disc)
Spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the space around your spinal cord)
Spondylolisthesis (where a vertebrae moves out of position)

Your clinician can advise you on whether epidural injections are the best option for you. Learn about the other pain injections we offer.

FAQ's

What are Epidural Injections?

Epidural injections, also known caudal epidural injections or epidural steroid injections, are injections that are commonly used to treat lower back and leg pain. These are symptoms of sciatica.

Epidural injections for back pain involve injecting a local anesthetic and a steroid medication into the space between the spinal cord and the nerve roots in the back. This space is called the epidural space, which is what gives this treatment its name.

The local anesthetic numbs pain, while the steroid reduces inflammation. Together, these provide relief from sciatica pain and other types of lower back pain.

Epidural injection recovery time

After your injection, you will be taken to the waiting room and observed for 30 minutes, to check for any adverse reaction. You may resume normal activities the day after treatment.
