Cervical Epidural Injection

Cervical epidural injections involve the injection of corticosteroids for patients with persistent neck pain as a result of cervical radiculopathy (more commonly known as a ‘pinched nerve’). This initial injection may be followed by one or two further injections two to four weeks apart from the initial injection. Up to a third of patients may find that their pain returns following the procedure, so further pain management treatment may be necessary.
