An epidural injection is an epidural infusion of a drug. Epidural injections are used to treat a wide variety of conditions, most notably severe pain that has not responded to other treatments. The epidural is the area between the spinal cord and the dura mater which provides cushioning for nerve roots coming from the spine. Epidurals can be done at any level in this space near these nerves, but epidurals higher up on the back may cause more side effects like paralysis or loss of sensation below where it was administered.

An epidural injection is a drug that can be given into the epidural space for pain relief. It’s administered through an epidural needle that goes in between the vertebrae to reach this specific area. Epidurals are typically used when someone has back or joint pain, sciatica, post-operative pain, and obstetric anesthesia. See here for information about The Benefits of Epidural Injections.

Epidural injections are often a more effective way of relieving chronic back/joint pain than oral medicines because they have direct access to nerves around these areas and work much faster than oral medications do since they’re going straight to where there’s inflammation instead of traveling throughout your whole body first…

There are many different types of epidural injections: analgesics like morphine and epidural steroids, anti-seizure medications like Dilantin and Tegretol, epidural blood patch therapy to stop bleeding in the spinal column.
