Epidural injection
Epidural injections treat either acute or chronic pain. The most common epidural injections are to treat labor pain and usually include an indwelling catheter that provides continuous treatment until the baby is delivered. The medicine is a local anesthetic +/- opiod.
Epidural injections also include single shot injections to treat chronic back pain. These usually include the use of steroids.
