Lumbar Epidural Injections

Interventional Back and Leg Pain Control in Los Angeles and Sacramento

The lumbar spine is in the region of your low back and consists of five separate vertebrae. Unfortunately, low back pain is a common problem. Arthritis, auto accidents, exercise/sports-related injuries, hereditary conditions, and overuse can all cause chronic low back pain.

Physicians have successfully used epidural steroid injections for several decades to control low back pain and leg pain (sciatica). In this procedure, Dr. Yun uses image-guidance to precisely inject steroids into the space around your spinal cord. The steroids provide an anti-inflammatory effect, which can significantly reduce pain.

Lumbar epidural injections can be a minimally-invasive alternative to surgery, used to control pain before surgery or used when surgery fails to relieve your pain adequately. Find out if lumbar epidural steroid injections are appropriate for your pain by calling California Pain Center at (855) 985-7246.
