The Freeman Spine and Pain Institute Explains Epidural Injections

 

Edison, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/31/2016 -- The foremost non-operative orthopedic, spine and interventional pain group of physicians, the Freeman Spine and Pain Institute, has announced their ability to provide epidural steroid injections (ESI). Patients suffering from spinal stenosis, spinal disc herniation and relevant conditions are encouraged to touch base with the practice to find out if they are eligible to receive treatments. The Freeman Spine and Pain Institute has also explained why ESIs are safe, effective and popular among doctors and patients alike.

According to the practice, epidural steroid injections can offer effective temporary and long-term relief to people with a variety of conditions, such as herniated discs, disc degeneration, arthritic pain, narrowed foramens, spinal stenosis and disc inflammation.

When a physician administers an epidural steroid injection, the patient will receive a mixture of corticosteroids and an anesthetic infusion within the spine's epidural space. This procedure reduces inflammation and offers relief from the pain that is a byproduct of the above-listed conditions.

Injection procedures generally take approximately 30 minutes, and patients should expect to continue to experience pain for a few days after an initial treatment. Furthermore, full pain relief may take up to 10 days post-treatment to fully set in. ESIs are designed to offer patients with pain relief while they undergo their overall rehabilitation regimens.

The Freeman Spine and Pain Institute covers a variety of other services beyond ESIs, the majority of which are minimally invasive.
