Epidural steroid injections help to decrease the pain and inflammation that is caused by a herniated disc. These injections are performed by one of our pain management specialists in a surgery center or hospital under “twilight” anesthesia. You do not need general anesthesia (breathing tube) for this procedure. It is an outpatient procedure and does not require an overnight stay.
