If you suffer from chronic neck pain that radiates into the shoulders, arms or even hands that has failed to improve with conservative therapy, you may be a candidate for this simple, in-office procedure.  A Cervical Epidural Injection has been the mainstay for treating neck and arm pain for decades!  A cervical epidural injection (aka cervical epidural steroid injection or CESI) is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment for neck pain that has been around for decades. It is a procedure very similar to the epidural a woman will receive to deal with the pain associated with childbirth. With a cervical epidural injection your doctor will place a small amount of anti-inflammatory medication into the epidural space NEAR the spine – not on it or in it.  This will relieve swelling, inflammation but most importantly – PAIN.
