Transforaminal Steroid Injection

A transforaminal steroid injection is a specialized type of epidural injection that targets a specific nerve root as it exits the spine through the neural foramen. This approach allows for a more concentrated delivery of anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected nerve. This procedure is particularly effective for patients with radiculopathy (radiating pain from a pinched nerve), herniated discs, and foraminal stenosis. It can be performed in the cervical or lumbar spine under fluoroscopic guidance.
