Epidural Injection for Back Pain & Sciatica (Herniated Disc)

Epidural Injection for Back Pain & Sciatica (Herniated Disc)

To treat herniated discs and sciatica naturally, watch my videos or pick up one of our programs at https://PainFreeInstitute.net

If you're suffering from a herniated disc and it's causing sharp pain or sciatica (pain going down the leg) then your doctor may recommend epidural injections to decrease the pain and bring down inflammation.

I made this video to help people understand the purpose of epidural injections and to get a behind the scenes look at the actual procedure since a lot of people are fearful of an injection close to their spine.

The procedure takes less than a minute and the patient feels minor discomfort due to the fact that a local anesthetic is used to numb the injection site and once done, the patient can go home the same day.

First things first, epidural injections WILL NOT heal a herniated disc. They are used to bring down inflammation in case a person is in severe pain or can't function properly.

Epidural injections may bring relief for a week or sometimes even months. People will respond to them differently and if you do get relief, most of the time it is temporary.

If the injection does help to decrease your back pain and/or sciatica, then that is the perfect time to start an exercise and rehabilitation program to strengthen your low back and rehab your discs.

It's not recommended to get more than 3 epidural injections a year or they may cause side effects such as osteoporosis.
