Why do we sedate patients before pain injections?

People with chronic pain are extra sensitive to any pain stimulus. Sedation helps keep the procedure safe and comfortable, and your comfort and safety always come first.

Did you know there’s more than one type of epidural injection?

There are several options—like facet joint blocks, transforaminal epidurals, and the most common one, translaminar epidurals. If these don’t provide relief, the next step may be consulting a spine surgeon for further evaluation.

How long do epidural injections last?

Epidural injections provide temporary pain relief, usually from 1 week to 1 month.
Everyone’s experience is different — some patients feel relief for weeks, others for months, depending on the injury or condition.

Epidurals are a great tool to help manage pain while you explore other treatments.

How soon can you return to normal activities after an epidural injection?

After an epidural injection, most patients can typically return to their normal activities within 3–5 days. It also depends on how you’re feeling and how quickly you start to notice relief.

We always remind patients not to get too excited too fast and to stay cautious. While the pain may improve, the injury is still there. The medication can relieve and mask symptoms, but it doesn’t mean the underlying issue is fully healed.

Most importantly, always ask your doctor before returning to normal or strenuous activities after your injection.

Can I get an injection in addition to physical therapy?

Yes — and it can be a highly effective combination for pain relief.

Patients often receive epidural or pain-management injections along with physical therapy, or after completing several PT sessions if they still need extra relief. Using both treatments together can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support a smoother recovery.

What is a nerve root?

Nerve roots are the nerves that come out of your spinal column. Sometimes they get compressed by a herniated or degenerative disc, which can cause pain.
A selective nerve root block involves injecting anti-inflammatory medication around the nerve root to relieve compression and reduce pain—helping you get back to your daily life more comfortably.

Who is a good candidate for an epidural injection?
Some patients benefit from starting with conservative treatments first:

-Physical therapy
-Chiropractic care
-Guidance from your primary care physician

If these measures don’t relieve your pain, our pain specialists can evaluate you to see if an epidural injection is right for you.

💉Before jumping straight to an epidural injection, you can try other options first: like physical therapy, chiropractic care, or medication.

If you do proceed with epidurals, a series of 3 injections is often the most effective for long-term relief.

Your journey to pain relief starts with the right plan.
