Epidural steroid injection (ESI) is a medical procedure commonly used to treat pain and inflammation in the spine. It involves the injection of a mixture of corticosteroid medication and a local anesthetic into the epidural space of the spinal canal. The epidural space is the area surrounding the dura, a protective membrane covering the spinal cord and nerve roots. ESIs are often used to manage various spine-related conditions, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, radiculopathy, or degenerative disc disease.| The corticosteroid in the injection works to reduce inflammation, while the local anesthetic provides immediate pain relief. ESIs can be administered in different regions of the spine, depending on the location of the pain and the underlying condition. The goal of this procedure is to alleviate pain, decrease inflammation, and improve a patient's overall quality of life.
