Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection
Cervical epidural injections can be done with medication, platelet rich plasma (PRP) or stem cells to relieve pain in the neck, shoulders, and arms caused by a pinched nerve (or nerves) in the cervical spine. Conditions such as herniated discs and spinal stenosis can compress nerves, causing inflammation and pain. Epidural injections decrease the inflammation and swelling of nerves, which reduces neck and nerve pain. To schedule a consultation and learn more CLICK HERE.
