At New York Sports Spine Pain Medicine, we provide Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections (ESIs) as an effective solution for managing persistent lower back pain and radiating leg pain, often caused by spinal conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or sciatica. These conditions can lead to inflammation and swelling of the spinal nerves, resulting in significant discomfort that limits mobility and quality of life.

Lumbar ESIs work by delivering a powerful anti-inflammatory corticosteroid medication directly into the epidural space surrounding the irritated spinal nerves. This targeted approach reduces inflammation and swelling, providing substantial pain relief. While these injections do not cure the underlying condition, they help to alleviate symptoms, allowing patients to regain their mobility and participate more fully in rehabilitative therapies, such as physical therapy and strength-building exercises. This integrative approach is often key to achieving lasting recovery and improved functionality.

The procedure is performed in our modern, in-house procedure suite under the guidance of a fluoroscope—a state-of-the-art X-ray imaging device that enables our specialists to place the injection with pinpoint accuracy. By ensuring precision, we maximize the therapeutic benefits of the injection while minimizing any risks or discomfort. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and often requires little to no downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities soon after.

At New York Sports Spine Pain Medicine, we are dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care and the most advanced pain management techniques available. Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections are a critical part of our comprehensive treatment plans, helping patients experience effective relief and take meaningful steps toward restoring their active, pain-free lifestyles.
