Understanding Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection:
A Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at diagnosing and providing relief from pain in the thoracic (upper back) and lumbar (lower back) regions of the spine. This technique involves the precise injection of a corticosteroid medication and a local anesthetic into the epidural space, targeting the nerve roots causing pain and inflammation.

At Genesis Pain Management, we understand the profound impact that thoracic and lumbar pain can have on your daily life. Our team of experts utilizes 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 thorough evaluation to determine whether a Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection is the appropriate option for you. This evaluation may include a review of your medical history, physical examinations, and diagnostic imaging tests.
The Procedure
During the Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection procedure, a skilled physician guides a thin needle into the targeted epidural space near the affected nerve roots. A combination of corticosteroid medication and a local anesthetic is then carefully injected, reducing inflammation and providing relief from pain.

FaQ
A Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection is a minimally invasive procedure designed to alleviate pain and inflammation in the thoracic (upper back) and lumbar (lower back) 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, where it can reduce inflammation and alleviate pain by targeting the source of discomfort.
Individuals experiencing chronic or acute pain in the thoracic or lumbar region, often attributed to conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease, 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. It’s common to feel some improvement within a few days. However, individual responses may vary. It’s important to note that this procedure is often a part of a comprehensive treatment plan, and the effects can last for varying lengths of time.
