What is a Cervical Epidural Injection?
The membrane that covers the spinal cord and nerve roots in your neck is called the dura membrane. The space surrounding the dura is epidural space in your neck. Inflammation of the nerve roots in the neck may cause pain in the arms and shoulders due to irritation from a damaged (protruding/herniated) disc or from contact with the bony structure of the spine (spinal stenosis) in some way.
