involves injecting an anti-inflammatory medication and an anesthetic substance into the lower back, around the spinal cord and nerve roots, to treat lower back pain that radiates to one or both legs. This pain is typically caused by nerve root compression in the spine, which may result from a herniated disc or bony narrowing in the spine that presses on the nerve roots.<\/p>\n<p>Injecting the medication into the spinal canal can help alleviate pain by eliminating the chemicals that cause inflammation or pain. Patients may experience relief after the first procedure, and it might need to be repeated two or three times depending on the situation. In some cases, if there is no improvement, surgery might be required.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How is the procedure done?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our clinic&#8217;s interventional procedure room, you&#8217;ll be assisted in lying on your stomach on the operating table. We will disinfect the back area and apply a local anesthetic to the skin. Then, a needle is inserted under X-ray guidance to the precise target location in the spine. After confirming the needle&#8217;s correct position using imaging, the medication is injected, and the needle is removed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4oz8w-f2fff7db53712e458a2628b0039c532f\">\n#top .flex_column.av-4oz8w-f2fff7db53712e458a2628b0039c532f{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_column.av-4oz8w-f2fff7db53712e458a2628b0039c532f{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-4oz8w-f2fff7db53712e458a2628b0039c532f av_one_third  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lvwgo09n-7c2c306e2742754e515a166c5250e1c8\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lvwgo09n-7c2c306e2742754e515a166c5250e1c8 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lvwgo09n-7c2c306e2742754e515a166c5250e1c8 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lvwgo09n-7c2c306e2742754e515a166c5250e1c8 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-11  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-1820 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1820 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/samerpainclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/\u062d\u0642\u0646-\u0627\u0644\u0633\u062a\u064a\u0631\u0648\u064a\u062f-\u0627\u0644\u0643\u0648\u0631\u062a\u064a\u0632\u0648\u0646-\u0641\u064a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0645\u0648\u062f-\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0642\u0631\u064a-\u0641\u064a-\u0623\u0633\u0641\u0644-\u0627\u0644\u0638\u0647\u0631.jpg\" alt='' title=''  height=\"562\" width=\"559\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samerpainclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/\u062d\u0642\u0646-\u0627\u0644\u0633\u062a\u064a\u0631\u0648\u064a\u062f-\u0627\u0644\u0643\u0648\u0631\u062a\u064a\u0632\u0648\u0646-\u0641\u064a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0645\u0648\u062f-\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0642\u0631\u064a-\u0641\u064a-\u0623\u0633\u0641\u0644-\u0627\u0644\u0638\u0647\u0631.jpg 559w, https:\/\/samerpainclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/\u062d\u0642\u0646-\u0627\u0644\u0633\u062a\u064a\u0631\u0648\u064a\u062f-\u0627\u0644\u0643\u0648\u0631\u062a\u064a\u0632\u0648\u0646-\u0641\u064a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0645\u0648\u062f-\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0642\u0631\u064a-\u0641\u064a-\u0623\u0633\u0641\u0644-\u0627\u0644\u0638\u0647\u0631-298x300.jpg 298w, https:\/\/samerpainclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/\u062d\u0642\u0646-\u0627\u0644\u0633\u062a\u064a\u0631\u0648\u064a\u062f-\u0627\u0644\u0643\u0648\u0631\u062a\u064a\u0632\u0648\u0646-\u0641\u064a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0645\u0648\u062f-\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0642\u0631\u064a-\u0641\u064a-\u0623\u0633\u0641\u0644-\u0627\u0644\u0638\u0647\u0631-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/samerpainclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/\u062d\u0642\u0646-\u0627\u0644\u0633\u062a\u064a\u0631\u0648\u064a\u062f-\u0627\u0644\u0643\u0648\u0631\u062a\u064a\u0632\u0648\u0646-\u0641\u064a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0645\u0648\u062f-\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0642\u0631\u064a-\u0641\u064a-\u0623\u0633\u0641\u0644-\u0627\u0644\u0638\u0647\u0631-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/samerpainclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/\u062d\u0642\u0646-\u0627\u0644\u0633\u062a\u064a\u0631\u0648\u064a\u062f-\u0627\u0644\u0643\u0648\u0631\u062a\u064a\u0632\u0648\u0646-\u0641\u064a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0645\u0648\u062f-\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0642\u0631\u064a-\u0641\u064a-\u0623\u0633\u0641\u0644-\u0627\u0644\u0638\u0647\u0631-180x180.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3yxto-8e9643ebe0a9c7f62b0958dbba1ef6f8\">\n#top .flex_column.av-3yxto-8e9643ebe0a9c7f62b0958dbba1ef6f8{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_column.av-3yxto-8e9643ebe0a9c7f62b0958dbba1ef6f8{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-3yxto-8e9643ebe0a9c7f62b0958dbba1ef6f8 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_one_third  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lvwgofuc-661803add7e1b5323b2b27718a6c15fe '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>What to Expect After the Procedure?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the procedure, the nurse will escort you to your room and provide you with post-procedure instructions.<\/p>\n<p>Improvement may not be immediate, and you might notice relief after a few days.

If you are taking blood-thinning medications, we will pause these medications prior to the procedure to reduce the risk of bleeding.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-3hxpk-259f632c858b144a0be0d1660707e739 alternate_color avia-section-no-padding avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_left'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-2187'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2i41s-4116c1f283819668aa4be9734f69e886\">\n.flex_column.av-2i41s-4116c1f283819668aa4be9734f69e886{\nborder-radius:8px 8px 8px 8px;\npadding:20px 20px 20px 20px;\nbackground-color:#fafafa;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2i41s-4116c1f283819668aa4be9734f69e886 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-15  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first  contact-footer-column first flex_column_div av-animated-generic bottom-to-top  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-26lmc-4b3ee6bae4a305d219d7d065c8bfb989\">\n.av_font_icon.av-26lmc-4b3ee6bae4a305d219d7d065c8bfb989{\ncolor:#01796f;\nborder-color:#01796f;\n}\n.avia-svg-icon.av-26lmc-4b3ee6bae4a305d219d7d065c8bfb989 svg:first-child{\nstroke:#01796f;\nfill:#01796f;\n}\n.av_font_icon.av-26lmc-4b3ee6bae4a305d219d7d065c8bfb989 .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:30px;\nline-height:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-26lmc-4b3ee6bae4a305d219d7d065c8bfb989 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-center avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue854' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-66is-3a0f227669950b01c47459459f0d7040\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-66is-3a0f227669950b01c47459459f0d7040 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:18px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-66is-3a0f227669950b01c47459459f0d7040 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>For more information, you can contact us at the clinic number: <a href=\"tel:+962790922204\">+962 79 09 222 04<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-yoog-abf84df6538e7fa01ec9479075ec65a5\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-yoog-abf84df6538e7fa01ec9479075ec65a5{\nheight:70px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-yoog-abf84df6538e7fa01ec9479075ec65a5 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_3'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_left'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-2187'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5021,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[116],"tags":[164],"class_list":["post-2187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-posts-en","tag-lumbar-epidural-steroid-injection"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection - Dr. Samer Abdel-Aziz<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn about lumbar epidural steroid injections at Dr. Samer Abdel-Aziz\u2019s Pain Clinic.
