A cervical epidural steroid injection is a minimally invasive procedure to relieve pain in your neck. Such pain often arises from one or more compressed nerve roots. The injection comprises a mixture of anesthetics and steroids. The steroid medication has powerful anti-inflammatory qualities and coats the inflamed nerves for long-term or short-term pain relief.
The inflammation of the spinal nerves causes pain and other incapacitating symptoms around your neck and other parts of your body. The painful condition affects your ability to perform daily tasks and requires the attention of an experienced spine doctor. A cervical epidural injection directed into the affected spine area relieves nerve root inflammation and the accompanying pain.
If you have debilitating neck pain that affects your life, the highly experienced team at the Spine & Rehab Group can correctly diagnosis the source and deliver pain-relieving treatment. Dr. Amr Hosny and a talented team of spine doctors at a pain center near you in Manhattan and across northern New Jersey use the latest technology to diagnose and treat a wide range of abnormal spine conditions.

Dr. Chu and his staff at The Spine & Rehab Group are all very friendly. They assessed my symptom obviously and offered me 2 methods to treat it. I had an injection to relax the muscle lining of my spine. I had no pain at all. The injection did take a while, but I had no pain. Now my symptoms have lessened to less than half and I am no longer taking any prescribed medication for my back. I traveled from Peekskill, New York to New City, New York. It was well worth it!
