Understanding Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection:

A Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection is a minimally invasive procedure designed to diagnose and alleviate pain in the lumbar (lower back) and sacral (pelvic) regions of the spine. This procedure involves the precise injection of a corticosteroid medication and a local anesthetic into the epidural space, targeting the nerve roots responsible for pain and inflammation.

At Genesis Pain Management, we understand the profound impact that lumbar and sacral pain can have on your quality of life. Our team of experts employs the latest medical advancements to provide effective relief without resorting to extensive surgeries or invasive procedures.

Diagnosis

Prior to proceeding with treatment, our experienced physicians conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether a Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection is the right option for you. This evaluation may involve a review of your medical history, physical examinations, and diagnostic imaging tests.

The Procedure

During the Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection procedure, a skilled physician carefully guides a thin needle into the targeted epidural space near the affected nerve roots. The combination of corticosteroid medication and a local anesthetic is then injected, reducing inflammation and providing relief from pain.

We believe that each patient’s pain experience is unique, and so is their path to relief. At Genesis, we create tailored treatment plans based on your specific needs.

FaQ

A Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection is a minimally invasive procedure designed to alleviate pain and inflammation in the lumbar (lower back) and sacral regions of the spine. This procedure involves injecting a corticosteroid medication directly into the epidural space near the affected nerve roots to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief.

During the procedure, a skilled physician uses fluoroscopic guidance to accurately locate the epidural space and the affected nerve root. A corticosteroid, along with a local anesthetic, is injected into the epidural space, targeting the source of pain and inflammation to provide relief.

Individuals experiencing chronic or acute pain in the lower back or sacral area, often attributed to conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or sciatica, may be candidates for this procedure. Our pain management specialists will evaluate your medical history and condition to determine if this treatment is appropriate for you.

After the Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection, you may experience relief from pain and inflammation due to the corticosteroid. Many patients notice improvement within a few days, although individual responses may vary. It’s important to note that while this procedure can provide effective pain relief, it’s often a part of a comprehensive treatment plan, and the duration of relief can vary.
