Epidural Injections work by coating the injured area directly with both numbing medication and steroid. They are quite valuable in the treatment of nerve pain and facet pain. In various forms (selective nerve root blocks or SNRB) these can be very helpful in the diagnosis of which nerve is causing pain.
For more information on non-surgical treatment options for spine, neck and back pain, or for additional resources on orthopedic spine surgery, please contact Dr. Donald Corenman at his Vail, Colorado office at 970-479-5895.
