Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection

Reduce inflammation and pain in the neck with advanced cervical epidural steroid injections at CDL Rehabilitation.

What Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection Are

Cervical epidural steroid injections are a pain management treatment that involves injecting steroids into the epidural space around the spinal cord in the neck to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.

Treatment Description

This treatment targets the epidural space in the cervical spine, where inflammation can irritate nerve roots and cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the neck, shoulders, or arms. It helps manage pain and improve function.

What It Includes

The procedure involves the injection of corticosteroids into the cervical epidural space under imaging guidance (usually fluoroscopy or CT) to ensure accurate placement. Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes.

Disorders treated

What Are Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection Used For?

Cervical epidural steroid injections are effective for treating conditions like cervical radiculopathy, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, neck pain, and inflammation caused by nerve compression.

Cervical Radiculopathy

Relieves pain caused by nerve root compression in the cervical spine, often radiating down the arms, by reducing inflammation around the affected nerve.

Cervical Disc Herniation

Reduces inflammation and pressure on the cervical disc, providing relief from pain and reducing numbness or tingling caused by disc herniation.

Chronic Neck Pain

Provides targeted relief from long-term neck pain, particularly caused by inflammation in the cervical spine or facet joints.

Spinal Stenosis

Eases symptoms of cervical spinal stenosis by reducing inflammation and improving nerve function.

Post-Surgical Pain

Helps manage pain following cervical spine surgery by addressing inflammation in the epidural space and promoting recovery.

Whiplash Injuries

Alleviates neck pain caused by whiplash by reducing inflammation in the cervical region and allowing for faster healing of soft tissues.

Headaches

Relieves cervicogenic headaches (neck-related headaches) caused by spinal misalignment or muscle tension in the cervical region.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Neck Pain

Without cervical epidural steroid injections, chronic neck pain caused by nerve inflammation or compression may persist.

Nerve Impingement

Lack of treatment can result in increased nerve compression, causing symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or shoulders.

Reduced Mobility

Untreated nerve-related pain may lead to stiffness and restricted movement in the neck and upper body.

Increased Inflammation

Failure to address inflammation around the cervical spine can worsen pain and impede recovery.

Progression to Chronic Conditions

Delayed intervention can lead to long-term nerve damage or chronic pain, requiring more invasive treatments or surgery in the future.
