Epidural Steroid Injections can be a crucial element in healthy, conservative, and effective programs of rehabilitation. Very generally, they accomplish the following goals:
• Relieve serious and debilitating/immobilizing pain;
• Begin the healing process by allowing for movement and rehabilitation (physical therapy);
• Reduce the need for surgery; and
• Help patients to steer clear of the serious consequences of long-term drug use for pain relief.
