Caudal Steroid Injection
Caudal Steroid Injection at Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists
If you’re dealing with chronic back pain or radiating leg pain, a caudal steroid injection could be a highly effective solution for managing your discomfort. This minimally invasive pain management treatment delivers a combination of steroid medication and a local anesthetic to your lower back, directly targeting the source of pain and inflammation.
How Caudal Steroid Injections Work
A caudal steroid injection focuses on delivering relief to the epidural space around irritated nerve roots in the lower spine. This area often becomes inflamed due to conditions like:
The steroid medication helps reduce inflammation, swelling, and irritation in these areas, which can significantly alleviate your pain. The local anesthetic provides immediate relief by numbing the affected nerves.
What to Expect
The procedure is performed in a clinical setting and typically takes less than 30 minutes. You may experience immediate relief from the local anesthetic, with the steroid’s effects taking full hold in the following days. The injection is designed to reduce inflammation, allowing you to enjoy improved mobility and less pain.
