Caudal Epidural Steroid Injections

Caudal epidural steroid injections are a minimally invasive pain management option designed to reduce inflammation and relieve lower back, leg, or sciatic nerve pain. At Covenant Spine and Neurology, we use advanced, image-guided techniques to deliver medication precisely to the affected area, offering targeted relief and helping patients avoid more invasive procedures.

How the Procedure Works

During this outpatient procedure, a combination of corticosteroid and local anesthetic is injected into the caudal epidural space near the base of the spine. This reduces nerve irritation and inflammation, which can ease pain, improve mobility, and decrease the need for ongoing pain medications.

Conditions Treated

Caudal epidural steroid injections are often recommended for:

 

  • Lumbar disc herniation

  • Spinal stenosis

  • Chronic lower back pain radiating into the legs

  • Sciatica and nerve compression

By targeting the source of pain, these injections provide relief that supports daily function and overall quality of life.

Benefits of Caudal Epidural Steroid Injections

Patients who receive these injections may experience:

 

  • Reduced inflammation and nerve pain

  • Improved ability to walk, sit, or perform daily tasks

  • Less reliance on oral pain medications

  • A minimally invasive alternative to surgery

Ongoing Pain Management
