# Epidural

Epidural injections are minimally invasive examinations that are primarily used for protracted complaints in the lumbar spine (lumbar spine). Epidurals will also be used for disc herniations and postoperative, following disc surgery. 

 We first image the area we want to treat, find the exact location and a safe path to it on the imaging, we numb the surface tissue with some local anesthetic then gently guide the needle down into the Epidural space where the steroid can spread around the affected area.

 The treatment itself is almost painless because of the local anesthetic.  

 For examining these areas, CTs are used to not only increase safety during the intervention but also guarantee a high level of precision on each affected body part. CTs also allow for clear diagnosis used for ongoing therapy advice and for the condition to be constantly measured.
