How it works
How many trips it usually takes.
-
01
Visit one: about an hour
The examination maps which nerve root is involved, and your MRI is read with you to see whether it shows a cause at that level. If you have not had an MRI yet, the examination decides whether you need one.
-
02
The injection, where the nerve root is the source
An epidural injection placed under live X-ray at the level and side involved, in this office. Most injections take a few minutes.
-
03
Follow-up
A short visit. If the injection helped, it can be repeated when needed. If it did not help at all, that is a reason to revisit the diagnosis rather than repeat it.
