Epidural Injections

Epidural Steroid Injections in Alpharetta & Pasadena

Targeted Relief. Physician-Grade Precision.

Epidural steroid injections are among the most established and effective interventional treatments for radicular pain — the sharp, radiating discomfort that travels from the spine into the arms or legs due to nerve compression or inflammation. At Ascension Pain Specialists, every procedure is performed by a fellowship-trained physician with advanced expertise in spinal anatomy and interventional pain management, at both our Alpharetta, GA and Pasadena, CA locations.

Conditions Treated With Epidural Injections

Spinal and Nerve-Related Conditions

  • Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar disc herniations
  • Spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication
  • Radiculopathy caused by foraminal narrowing or disc pathology
  • Degenerative disc disease and chronic spinal inflammation
  • Post-surgical pain with persistent nerve irritation
  • Acute spinal injuries following motor vehicle accidents or trauma

What Happens During an Epidural Injection Procedure?

Under careful physician guidance and precise positioning, a fine needle is advanced into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord and nerve roots. A calibrated combination of corticosteroid medication and local anesthetic is then delivered to reduce inflammation and calm irritated nerves.

Most patients notice improvement within several days to two weeks following the injection. The procedure generally takes 15 to 30 minutes, and most individuals return to routine activities the same day or shortly afterward.

Epidural Injections for Personal Injury Patients

For individuals injured in car accidents or traumatic incidents, epidural injections serve two important purposes. They help reduce pain and improve physical function while also creating objective medical documentation regarding the severity and persistence of spinal injuries. This service is available at both our Alpharetta and Pasadena locations.
