Do epidural injections relieve back pain?

Yes: Epidural injections can relieve back pain. This is not true for all conditions or all people. Only a qualified physician who specializes in this procedure can give you an opinion as to whether an epidural would be indicated.

Epidural injections: Depending on the cause of pain, epidural injections may help relief back pain. The effect may not be long lasting though, and if an epidural injection is a suitable treatment for you should be a decision made by your pain physician.
