Caudal
epidural steroid injections This
injection is similar to the lumbar epidural steroid injections with the
exception of needle entry site. In
the caudal epidural steroid injection the needle is placed through a small
opening in the caudal canal at the base of the spinal canal just above the
tailbone. Local anesthetic is given
into the skin and the tissues below the skin to reduce the pain of needle
entering into the caudal canal. Please
refer to the section lumbar epidural steroid injections for full details
regarding this injection, which is similar to the lumbar epidural steroid
injections. Dr.
Daneshfar is an interventional pain management specialist and performs many of
these procedures routinely and daily at the Acute and Chronic Pain and Spine
Center (ACPSC) and the local hospitals. |
