This procedure delivers a numbing medication, steroid, or both into the epidural space around the spinal nerves in the lower back or tailbone area, aiming to reduce pain and inflammation from conditions such as a herniated disc or spinal stenosis. It is performed by feel and anatomical landmarks rather than with live X-ray guidance to confirm needle placement. Relief can be temporary or longer-lasting depending on the underlying cause.
