A cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injection is a procedure aimed at relieving pain in the neck, shoulder, and arm, often associated with the compression of a nerve root in the cervical spine. Conditions like herniated discs and spinal stenosis can result in the compression of nerves, causing inflammation and pain.
The procedure involves the injection of anti-inflammatory medicine into the epidural space around the spinal nerves. This medication helps reduce the swelling of nerves. Cervical epidural steroid injections are considered one of the most commonly performed interventions for managing chronic neck pain.
