Cervical or Lumbar Epidural Sterioid Injection (ESI): Local Sedation

Cervical or Lumbar Epidural Sterioid Injection (ESI): Local Sedation is available through Mishe Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

A cervical or lumbar epidural steroid injection (ESI) with local sedation is a minimally invasive procedure used to relieve pain and inflammation in the neck or lower back. This procedure involves injecting a corticosteroid medication combined with a local anesthetic into the epidural space surrounding the spinal nerves. The injection aims to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or sciatica. Local sedation is administered to help the patient relax and minimize discomfort during the procedure. The entire process is typically guided by fluoroscopy (a type of X-ray) to ensure accurate needle placement. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.
