What is Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection?

Cervical ESI is a minimally invasive procedure where corticosteroids are injected into the cervical epidural space. This area surrounds the spinal cord and nerve roots, where inflammation often occurs due to herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or cervical radiculopathy.

These injections help reduce inflammation, relieve neck and arm pain, and restore mobility.
