Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections for Pain Management

Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections Treated Conditions

• Cervical herniated disk – A cervical herniated disk is a condition in which one of the disks that cushions the bones (vertebrae) in the neck becomes damaged or ruptures, allowing the inner portion of the disk (nucleus pulposus) to bulge out or protrude. This can cause pressure on the spinal cord or nearby nerve roots, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, and other symptoms in the neck, shoulders, arms, and hands.  
• Cervical degenerative disk disease – Cervical degenerative disk disease (DDD) is a condition that occurs when the disks in the neck (cervical spine) become damaged or worn down over time. The disks are made up of a soft, spongy material that cushions the bones (vertebrae) in the spine and helps them move smoothly. As people age, the disks can lose some of their water content, making them less flexible and more prone to injury. 
• Cervical osteoarthritis (cervical spondylosis) – Cervical osteoarthritis, also known as cervical spondylosis, is a condition that occurs when the bones and joints in the neck (cervical spine) become damaged or worn down over time. It is a type of degenerative joint disease that is caused by the normal wear and tear of the joints, and it is more common in people who are middle-aged or older. 
• Cervical spinal stenosis – Cervical spinal stenosis is a condition that occurs when the spinal canal in the neck becomes narrowed, causing pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. The spinal canal is a hollow space in the center of the spine that contains the spinal cord, which is a collection of nerves that transports messages between the brain and the rest of the body. When the spinal canal becomes narrowed, it can cause the spinal cord or nerve roots to become compressed, leading to pain, numbness, and other symptoms. 
• Cervical spondylosis – Cervical spondylosis is a common condition that affects the neck (cervical) region of the spine. It is typically a result of age-related changes in the spine, such as the wear and tear of the intervertebral discs and the development of bone spurs (osteophytes). These changes can cause the neck to become stiff and painful and can also put pressure on the nerves that pass through the neck. 
• Cervical radiculopathy – Cervical radiculopathy is a condition that occurs when a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the arm or hand. It is often caused by cervical spondylosis.
