INTERLAMINAR EPIDURAL STEROID INJECTIONS IN LONG ISLAND
The Basics:
A common, long-term treatment approach for spinal stenosis, herniated discs, and irritated nerves
Reduces pain, inflammation, and other symptoms for weeks or months
Cortisone/steroid is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication that can reduce pain, numbness, and inflammation caused by a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, and other conditions that involve irritated spinal nerves.
During the procedure, one of our pain management doctors will inject the steroid directly into the epidural space using fluoroscopic(x-ray) guidance (the area between the bone and the spinal canal.) Once in place, the medication can relieve or reduce pain.

It is an injection of corticosteroid and local anesthetic into the epidural space through the midline of the spine, used to reduce inflammation and ease neck or back pain that may radiate to the arms or legs.
It is used for pain from conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and nerve irritation. Candidacy is based on your symptoms and imaging.
The area is numbed first and the injection is performed with image guidance, so most patients feel only mild pressure, with temporary soreness afterward.
The procedure usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes and is done on an outpatient basis.
Relief varies; some patients experience benefit for weeks to months, and a limited series may be recommended alongside physical therapy.
