<strong>anti-inflammatory medication<\/strong> and a <strong>local anesthetic<\/strong> into the cervical spine around the spinal cord and nerve roots. It is used to treat <strong>neck pain radiating to the arm<\/strong> caused by <strong>nerve root compression<\/strong> in the spine, which may result from either a <strong>herniated disc<\/strong> or <strong>spinal stenosis<\/strong>, where the spine narrows and puts pressure on the nerve roots.<\/p>\n<p>Injecting the medication into the spinal canal can help alleviate pain by reducing the chemical substances responsible for inflammation or pain. Patients may experience relief from the first procedure, and it may be necessary to repeat the injection <strong>two or three times<\/strong>, depending on the severity of the condition. In some cases, <strong>no improvement<\/strong> occurs, and <strong>surgery<\/strong> may be needed if the condition does not improve with non-surgical treatments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4d432-658d6c829264e39935919283dfc75d46\">\n#top .flex_column_table.av-equal-height-column-flextable.av-4d432-658d6c829264e39935919283dfc75d46{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-4d432-658d6c829264e39935919283dfc75d46 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-middle  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lvwgse90-972c91ca96e1472ec82c571b3e3ed594\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lvwgse90-972c91ca96e1472ec82c571b3e3ed594 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lvwgse90-972c91ca96e1472ec82c571b3e3ed594 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lvwgse90-972c91ca96e1472ec82c571b3e3ed594 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-12  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-1821 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1821 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-\u0627\u0644\u0631\u0642\u0628\u0629-1.jpg\" alt='' title=''  height=\"401\" width=\"754\"  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-\u0627\u0644\u0631\u0642\u0628\u0629-1.jpg 754w, 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-\u0627\u0644\u0631\u0642\u0628\u0629-1-300x160.jpg 300w, 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-\u0627\u0644\u0631\u0642\u0628\u0629-1-705x375.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 754px) 100vw, 754px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

The neck area will be sterilized, and the skin will be numbed with a local anesthetic. Then, using <strong>fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance<\/strong>, a needle is inserted to the precise target area in the spine. Once the exact location of the needle is confirmed, the medication is injected, and the needle is removed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to expect after the procedure?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the procedure, a nurse will guide you to your room and provide post-procedure instructions.<\/p>\n<p>Improvement may not be immediate, and you might start noticing relief after a few days. In some cases, there may be no improvement, and further interventions might be required. The nurse will follow up with you after a few days to check on your progress and offer any additional advice you may need.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there any risks associated with this procedure?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Like any medication or medical procedure, there are risks, but in general, this procedure is considered safe, with very minimal chances of complications. Potential risks include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Low blood pressure<\/strong> and <strong>nausea<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Spinal bleeding<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Nerve damage<\/strong> or <strong>paralysis<\/strong> (very rare)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Headache<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased pain<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For <strong>pregnant women<\/strong>, there is a risk to the fetus due to the use of X-ray guidance, so the procedure will be postponed until after delivery. If you are taking <strong>blood thinners<\/strong>, these medications will be stopped before 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-3eaue-ecf8e71f39e0d48b4e77d948f9e69c37 alternate_color avia-section-no-padding avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-15  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-2459'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2wpwa-40e5f851fe0c98010a1b65a7b4b6a69a\">\n.flex_column.av-2wpwa-40e5f851fe0c98010a1b65a7b4b6a69a{\nborder-radius:8px 8px 8px 8px;\npadding:20px 20px 20px 20px;\nbackground-color:#fafafa;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2wpwa-40e5f851fe0c98010a1b65a7b4b6a69a av_one_full  avia-builder-el-16  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-2bhuq-a81aaaea7874767be0bed271e1fb574b\">\n.av_font_icon.av-2bhuq-a81aaaea7874767be0bed271e1fb574b{\ncolor:#01796f;\nborder-color:#01796f;\n}\n.avia-svg-icon.av-2bhuq-a81aaaea7874767be0bed271e1fb574b svg:first-child{\nstroke:#01796f;\nfill:#01796f;\n}\n.av_font_icon.av-2bhuq-a81aaaea7874767be0bed271e1fb574b .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:30px;\nline-height:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-2bhuq-a81aaaea7874767be0bed271e1fb574b 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-1ciqy-b3282528d99663bbf21553804753df63\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-1ciqy-b3282528d99663bbf21553804753df63 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:18px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-1ciqy-b3282528d99663bbf21553804753df63 '   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-8sa-d7fc09dd31bd4f95a0a7a8e9ee9cd96b\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-8sa-d7fc09dd31bd4f95a0a7a8e9ee9cd96b{\nheight:70px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-8sa-d7fc09dd31bd4f95a0a7a8e9ee9cd96b hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-19  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-2459'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5055,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[116],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-posts-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Steroid (Cortisone) Injection in the Cervical Spine - Dr. Samer Abdel-Aziz<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn about steroid (cortisone) injections in the cervical spine at Dr. Samer Abdel-Aziz\u2019s Pain Clinic.
