Physical therapy and other treatments for neck pain can take time. But you don’t have to suffer with cervical pain while you undergo therapy. Instead of waiting for the pain and discomfort to go away before you get some relief, deal with it first. Thanks to the expertise of nationally recognized pain doctors at pain management New York, a cervical epidural ensures you a pain-free recovery. Call today to learn how steroid injections can start you on the path to healing.
Inflammation around the nerves in your neck cause pressure and pain that makes it hard to turn your head, bend forward or even sit comfortably. Many also report that cervical pain affects their sleep.
The nerve roots are surrounded by a sac called the dura, which in turn is surrounded by the epidural space. Injecting steroids directly into this space bathes the nerves in the soothing, pain-relieving medication.
During a Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection
The injection procedure is relatively straightforward. You lie face down on an examining table. Your doctor cleans and sterilizes a small area around the injection site with a local anesthetic. Using an x-ray machine called a fluoroscope to guide the needle, your doctor injects contrast dye into your cervical epidural space. Next, a cortisone steroid solution is injected directly into the epidural space.
The medicine reduces inflammation and decreases or eliminates your pain. Injections provide short-term relief for your inflammation and pain. Then you can take advantage of the pain relief to concentrate on physical therapy. Stretching and strengthening exercises provide structural relief and can reverse or reduce the conditions that cause your discomfort.
