A member asked:
How effective can cervical cortisone epidurals be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cervical epidural: They can be very effective for some types of pain especially those radiating down the arm. Pain specific to the neck with or without head movement may be better treated with other types of injections/therapies.
