Thoracic Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection

Address upper back pain effectively with thoracic transforaminal epidural steroid injections at CDL Rehabilitation.

What Thoracic Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection Are

Thoracic transforaminal epidural steroid injections are a targeted pain management treatment that involves injecting steroids into the epidural space of the thoracic spine to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.

Treatment Description

This procedure delivers steroids to the nerve roots in the thoracic spine, helping to reduce inflammation, numb pain, and improve mobility. The injection is administered through the side of the vertebra to target specific nerve areas.

What It Includes

The treatment involves injecting corticosteroids into the thoracic transforaminal space under fluoroscopic or CT guidance to ensure accurate placement. Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes.

Disorders treated

What Are Thoracic Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection Used For?

Thoracic transforaminal epidural steroid injections are effective for treating conditions like thoracic radiculopathy, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, upper back pain, and inflammation caused by nerve compression in the thoracic spine.

Thoracic Radiculopathy
Relieves pain caused by nerve root compression in the thoracic spine, often radiating to the chest or abdomen, by reducing inflammation around the affected nerve.
Thoracic Disc Herniation
Eases pain from herniated discs in the thoracic spine by reducing pressure on nerve roots and alleviating inflammation.
Spinal Stenosis
Alleviates symptoms of spinal stenosis in the thoracic spine, such as pain, numbness, and weakness in the torso or limbs, by reducing nerve compression.
Post-Surgical Pain
Helps manage pain following thoracic spine surgery by reducing inflammation and promoting healing in the epidural space.
Rib Pain
Reduces pain caused by inflammation or irritation in the facet joints or intercostal nerves, particularly in the upper or middle back.
Whiplash Injuries
Provides relief from upper back and neck pain caused by whiplash by addressing inflammation and nerve irritation in the thoracic spine.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Upper Back Pain
Without thoracic transforaminal epidural steroid injections, chronic pain in the upper back caused by nerve inflammation may persist.
Nerve Compression
Lack of treatment can result in worsening nerve impingement, leading to symptoms like numbness, tingling, or radiating pain in the chest or abdomen.
Reduced Mobility
Untreated thoracic nerve issues can cause stiffness and difficulty in performing daily activities or maintaining good posture.
Increased Inflammation
Failure to manage inflammation in the thoracic spine may exacerbate pain and hinder the healing process.
Progression to Chronic Conditions
Delayed intervention can lead to long-term nerve damage or chronic upper back pain, requiring more invasive treatments in the future.
