About Caudal Epidural Injections
Caudal Epidural injections consist of an injection of an anti-inflammatory (cortisone) into the lumbar-sacral part of the spinal canal, which is in the lower back.
The cortisone lessens the inflammation of the nerves that travel from the lower back and into the legs, allowing the body to heal itself.
Patients may see improvements within 3 to 7 days of their first injection and, if necessary, they can be repeated up to three times total on a 2 to 4-week schedule. Some patients may find that a single injection is all that is required.
Our office performs these injections with ultrasound guidance, which ensures that the injection is placed with 100% accuracy. We offer this important benefit to our patients because a standard epidural injection is only approximately 70% accurate, even in the most experienced hands.
