Lumbar Transformal Epidural Steroid Injection

What is a lumbar transformal epidural steroid injection?

A lumbar transformal epidural steroid injection is a non-surgical procedure that treats pain and can also serve as a diagnostic tool. Conditions typically treated include pinched nerve/radiculopathy, sciatica, herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Your doctor injects a combination of anesthetic and steroid medications adjacent to the inflamed/painful nerve. Come patients experience significant pain relief after just one steroid injection. However, some patients get no pain relief or only short term relief.
