Epidural Injection Pain Relief Pune
Sancheti Hospital offers safe epidural injections for back pain relief, helping patients regain comfort and mobility with expert spine care.
What is Epidural Injections?
Epidural injections are minimally invasive pain management procedures used to relieve chronic pain in the back, neck, and legs caused by irritated spinal nerves. The injection delivers corticosteroids and sometimes anaesthetics into the epidural space around the spinal cord. This helps reduce inflammation, swelling, and nerve irritation.
Benefits of Radiofrequency Ablation
- Effective pain relief for sciatica, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis
- Minimally invasive with no major incisions
- Reduces dependency on long-term medications
- Improves mobility and quality of life
- Can be repeated if needed for long-lasting relief
- Helps patients delay or avoid major spine surgery
Epidural injections are commonly used for:
- Epidural injection for sciatica nerve pain
- Epidural injection for back pain
- Epidural steroid injection for sciatica pain and leg pain
- Epidural injection for low back pain and neck pain
By reducing pain, epidural steroid injections allow patients to participate more effectively in physiotherapy and resume their normal daily activities.
Limitations and Disadvantages
- Relief may be temporary (weeks to months) depending on the patient’s condition
- Multiple injections may be required
- Mild side effects like soreness, headache, or numbness can occur
- Rare risks include infection, bleeding, or nerve irritation
- Not a cure for the underlying cause of pain, but a management tool
