This injection treats the pain of an inflamed nerve in your cervical spine. It relieves nerve swelling. If you have a herniated disc, spinal stenosis or some other problem that’s pressing on a nerve, it may help you.
Cervical epidural steroid injections are commonly used to treat a range of conditions that cause neck and upper extremity pain. These conditions include:
Cervical epidural steroid injections can alleviate pain by reducing inflammation in the cervical spine and numbing the affected nerve roots, providing both immediate and prolonged relief from conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and radiculopathy. This dual-action approach helps improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and enhance overall quality of life for individuals suffering from neck and upper extremity pain.

To begin, you lie down. You may be given medicine to help you relax. You are numbed with an injection of local anesthetic.
Next, a needle is inserted through this numbed tissue. The doctor uses a fluoroscope (a video x-ray device) to guide the needle into the epidural space. That’s the space around your inflamed nerve. The doctor may inject contrast dye to make sure the needle is in the right place.
Finally, the doctor injects the medicine. It bathes the painful nerve. It relieves pain and swelling. If you have other painful nerves, you may need more than one injection.
After your injection, you’ll be watched for a short time, then you can go home. To get the full benefit, you may need to come back for more injections. Your doctor will create a plan that’s right for you.
