The most common pain that individuals experience is neck and back pain. At our pain management treatment center we have physicians that specialize in acute and chronic pain management. We see a lot of individuals that have been suffering for years from their neck and/or back pain. It usually begins being barely noticeable and then increases overtime. In some cases it may disappear on its own or with a little extra stretching or muscle cream. However, in more cases than not the pain sticks around and increases over time causing pain in other areas of the body and could even begin to cause mood disorders.
Our pain management specialists realize that everyone is different and will experience pain differently. We have a variety of paths to explore to reach the overall results that we are looking for in managing your pain. We look at all of them very closely to discover which is the best for each individual patient. The use of epidural steroid injections (ESI) are to manage chronic pain caused by spinal nerve root inflammation. Many conditions can irritate your spinal nerve roots. This kind of nerve irritation most commonly presents as low back (lumbar) pain that radiates down your buttocks or legs. It also commonly presents as neck (cervical) pain that radiates to your arms.

When we experience ongoing pain and never seek medical help it can begin to debilitate our daily functions and can turn into more problems such as mental health disorders.
