Please note the change that will be effecive June 2008. Instead of using the AMDC (Advanced Medical Diagnosis Center) at Memorial Medical Center, Dr. Chan will be performing epidural steroid injections at the same day surgery section of the North Tower.

Epidural Steroid Injections with Fluoroscopy - Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. What are epidural steroid injections for ?

Epidural steroid injections are designed to help individuals with pinched nerve pain going down the arms or legs.  This is commonly known as sciatica.  Frequently people with disc herniations may experience pinched nerve symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, burning, etc.  By introducing an anti-inflammatory agent (cortisone or steroid) into the epidural space in the spine, it can help to relieve the pinched nerve symptoms.
