There are several types of spinal injections, often referred to as nerve blocks or blocks. They may be used for both pain relief and diagnostic purposes. Spinal injections are usually performed using a live x-ray(fluoroscopy) for guidance. Common spinal injections include:Epidural Steroid Injection, Facet Injections, and Selective Nerve Root Block.Epidural Steroid InjectionEpidural steroid injections are not usually performed until non-surgical treatments have been given a fair trial(about six weeks) and have not provided adequate relief of radicular pain(pain radiating down an arm or leg).Epidural steroid injections are for temporary relief of pain; they are not a cure. Pain relief often lasts from a couple of weeks to months, although these injections are not always effective. There are rare but serious risks involved.What is an Epidural Steroid Injection(ESI)An epidural steroid injection(ESI) is a common type of spinal injection. An ESI is often referred to more generally as nerve block or simply a block.An epidural steroid injection is an injection of a long lasting steroid combined with a local anesthetic into the epidural space. The medication travels up and down the epidural space to coat the spinal nerves and the facet joints near the area of the injection.The epidural space is the space between the outermost membrane covering the spinal cord(the dura) and the wall of the spinal canal.Epidural steroid injections are usually performed using a live x-ray(fluoroscopy) as guidance.What type of pain is an Epidural Steroid Injection used forEpidural steroid injections are commonly used to treat radicular pain(pain radiating down an arm or leg) caused by compressed or irritated spinal nerve roots. Pain radiating down the leg is referred to as sciatica. Herniated discs and spinal stenosis are common causes of spinal nerve compression / irritation. Epidural steroid injections also reduce inflammation of facet joints and are sometimes used to treat moderate to severe osteoarthritis of the spine. ESI injections are not used for musculo-skeletal pain.When is an Epidural Steroid Injection usedWhen a short trial of conservative, non-surgical pain treatments does not provide adequate relief for severe pain involving compression / irritation a spinal nerve root, an epidural steroid injection may be considered.Most radicular pain eventually gets better.

By using a BMI chart and consulting with your health care provider, you can determine what a healthy weight is for you. To reach your goal safely, plan to lose weight gradually. A weight loss of one-half to two pounds a week is usually safe.2. Change Your Lifestyle To be successful at losing weight, you need to change your lifestyle and not just go on a diet. This requires cutting back on the number of calories you eat by eating smaller amounts of foods and choosing foods lower in calories. It also means being more physically active.3. Change Your Eating Habits Consider limiting portion sizes, especially of foods high in calories, such as cookies, cakes and other sweets; fried foods, like fried chicken and french fries; and fats, oils, and spreads.
