How safe and effective are cervical cortisone epidurals?

Safe and effective: A cervical steroid injection is safe in trained hands. The effectiveness will be determined by the condition that is being treated, for example, in a situation where inflammation is playing a large part in contributing to the symptoms, steroids will arrest that.

Epidural steroids: Cervical injection therapy including epidural steroid injections are common/successful for cervical disc disease. In particular arm pain, numbness, and tingling. Everything in medicine has risks including injections and these include headache, infection, bleeding. These are rare and just a few that are most common. Would recommend anesthesiologists who have have done pain management fellowship.
