Epidural steroid injections may be right for you
if you have:
Oral medication treats pain systemically. Epidural injection treats it at the nerve.
Anti-inflammatory medication taken by mouth must travel through the bloodstream before reaching the spine — delivering only a fraction of its effect to the inflamed nerve root.
- Targeted delivery reduces inflammation directly at the nerve root — not systemically
- Fluoroscopy guidance confirms accurate needle placement before any medication is injected
- Relief typically begins within 3–7 days and lasts several weeks to months
- Can be repeated up to three times per year when clinically appropriate
Our approach: an epidural steroid injection places corticosteroid directly into the epidural space, adjacent to the compressed or irritated nerve, where it can work most effectively.

Epidural steroid injections treat disc and nerve root inflammation. They are not the appropriate treatment for pure facet joint pain. When facet involvement is suspected alongside disc pathology, medial branch blocks are used to confirm the facet source. Your physician will clarify the correct approach at your first visit. All procedures at 281 Broadway, Tribeca.
Our epidural injection protocol
Every injection is image-guided and performed after a structural diagnosis confirms the nerve level. No epidural injection is recommended until we know which root is driving your symptoms.
