Medical Conditions - Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection

Transforaminal epidural steroid injection is a type of treatment used to eliminate pain and inflammation in the nerve roots next to the spine. Many nerves arise from the spinal cord and they exit from the spinal column through small spaces in the vertebrae. The doctor may insert a needle through this space and inject the steroid medication close to the nerve root as it emerges from the spinal cord. This helps in relieving leg pain, back pain, and sciatica pain symptoms
