Epidural Steroid Injections at Aesthetics & Pain
If you’re living with chronic back pain, neck pain, or sciatica, you know how much it can take over your life. Simple things like getting out of bed, driving, or standing too long become frustrating or even impossible.
At Aesthetics & Pain, we use Epidural Steroid Injections (ESIs) to help reduce inflammation, calm irritated nerves, and give you lasting relief — so you can move easier, sleep better, and get back to doing what you love.
What is an Epidural Steroid Injection?
An Epidural Steroid Injection is a minimally invasive treatment that delivers anti-inflammatory medication (corticosteroids) directly into the epidural space around your spinal nerves.
This is often where inflammation builds up due to conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease — and it’s also where the pain signals are coming from. By targeting the exact source, we help reduce inflammation and pain at the root.
What It Helps With:
- Lower back pain
- Neck pain
- Sciatica (pain that shoots down the leg)
- Arm pain or numbness from cervical disc issues
- Bulging or herniated discs
- Spinal stenosis
- Nerve compression
- If your pain is radiating from the spine to your limbs, or flaring up after standing, walking, or sitting — this treatment may help.
How the Procedure Works:
What to Expect Afterward
- You may feel relief within a few days, though sometimes it takes up to a week.
- Some people feel immediate relief from the anesthetic; full steroid effects kick in later.
- Results vary — but many patients experience pain relief lasting weeks to several months.
- You may receive up to 3 injections per year as needed.
Benefits of Epidural Injections:
- Targeted pain relief without surgery
- Improves mobility and function
- Reduces inflammation around irritated spinal nerves
- Can help you avoid or delay more invasive procedures
- Often combined with physical therapy to accelerate recovery
Is It Safe?
-
Yes — when performed by trained providers using imaging guidance, Epidural Steroid Injections are very safe. Side effects are rare and usually mild (temporary soreness, headache, or numbness).
We follow strict safety protocols and will review your individual risks and questions beforehand.
Is This Right for You?
- You might be a good candidate if:
- Your back or neck pain radiates into your legs or arms
- You’ve tried rest, therapy, or medications without lasting relief
- You want to avoid or delay surgery
- You need a boost to help get through physical therapy or daily life
