Nerve Root Blocks and Epidural Analgesia

---

Minimally invasive solutions for spine-related pain

Nerve root blocks and epidural injections are advanced pain management techniques that help reduce nerve irritation and inflammation caused by conditions such as slipped discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, or nerve compression. These procedures are performed under image guidance to ensure precision and safety.

Transforaminal Nerve Root Block

• A targeted injection delivered near the affected spinal nerve root.
• Helps reduce leg or arm pain caused by nerve compression (such as sciatica or radiculopathy).
• Provides both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits, helping identify the exact pain source while giving lasting relief.

Caudal Epidural Analgesia

• A safe and effective technique where medication is delivered into the epidural space through the tailbone region.
• Useful for widespread lower back and leg pain, especially in cases of disc prolapse, post-surgical pain, and chronic lumbar spine conditions.
• Often chosen when multiple levels of the spine are involved.

Benefits of These Procedures

• Minimally invasive, daycare procedure
• Reduced need for long-term medications
• Improved mobility and quality of life
• Can delay or sometimes avoid major surgery
