Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection

Manage lower back pain with precision caudal epidural steroid injections at CDL Rehabilitation.

What Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection Are

Caudal epidural steroid injections are a pain management procedure that involves injecting steroids into the caudal epidural space, located at the base of the spine, to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

Treatment Description

This treatment targets the epidural space near the tailbone, where inflammation or nerve compression can cause pain in the lower back, hips, and legs. The injection helps alleviate pain and promote healing.

What It Includes

The procedure involves the injection of corticosteroids into the caudal epidural space, typically guided by fluoroscopy for accurate placement. Sessions usually last 15-30 minutes.

Disorders treated

What Are Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection Used For?

Caudal epidural steroid injections are effective for treating conditions like lower back pain, sciatica, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, and radiculopathy caused by nerve compression in the lumbar spine.

Chronic Lower Back Pain
Provides long-lasting relief from persistent lower back pain by reducing inflammation in the epidural space of the lumbar spine.
Sciatica
Relieves pain that radiates down the legs due to sciatic nerve compression by decreasing inflammation and pressure in the lower spine.
Spinal Stenosis
Eases symptoms of spinal stenosis in the lower back, such as pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs, by reducing nerve root compression.
Post-Surgical Pain
Helps manage pain following lumbar spine surgery by reducing inflammation in the epidural space and promoting healing.
Sacral Nerve Pain
Relieves pain originating from the sacral nerve roots in the lower back and buttocks by decreasing inflammation and nerve irritation.
Herniated Discs
Reduces the pressure and inflammation caused by herniated discs in the lower back, improving mobility and reducing pain.
Facet Joint Pain
Eases pain from facet joint dysfunction in the lower spine by decreasing inflammation and promoting better joint function.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Lower Back and Leg Pain
Without caudal epidural steroid injections, chronic pain in the lower back and legs caused by nerve inflammation may remain unresolved.
Nerve Compression
Lack of treatment can worsen nerve impingement, causing symptoms like sciatica, numbness, or tingling in the lower extremities.
Reduced Mobility
Untreated inflammation and nerve pain can lead to stiffness and difficulty walking or performing daily activities.
Increased Inflammation
Failure to address inflammation in the caudal region can prolong discomfort and slow the healing process.
Development of Chronic Pain Conditions
Delayed intervention may result in long-term nerve damage or chronic pain, potentially requiring more invasive treatments like surgery.
