Tranforaminal Epidural Injections

This procedure is for treatment of low back and radiating leg pain. It is performed by a pain physician so that pain relieving medications are placed around the nerve roots at the most appropriate level. X-ray guidance is used to ensure correct needle placement. These nerve blocks are often successful in patients who have had spine surgery but do not respond to conventional epidural blocks.

These are also called selective nerve root blocks or sleeve injections
