Somerset, NJ -- (SBWire) -- 10/25/2016 --The University Pain Medicine Center is pleased to announce that cervical epidural steroid injections are available to help patients find relief from pain in their arms, shoulders, and necks. Since the beginning, this award-winning medical practice has used the most innovative non-surgical procedures and treatment options to help patients find relief from their pain. The medical practice accepts patients who live in and around the New York metropolitan area, and their doctors also operate out of five office locations—with their main office being in Somerset, NJ.

A cervical epidural steroid injection is a common, short, and painless non-surgical procedure that first involves numbing the patient's skin using a local anesthetic. Next, a needle is placed into the patient's spine, and in particular the epidural space (the area through which the nerves travel). Once the needle is properly placed, the patient is then injected with the steroid solution. The needle is then removed and the patient receives a small bandage. Before the patient leaves, he or she receives some time to rest and then is sent home soon after.

Cervical epidural steroid injections are often used to treat pain caused by herniated discs, or other conditions such as spinal stenosis and spondylosis. Furthermore, while the procedure will provide patients with sufficient pain relief, the results are temporary and can last anywhere from a few weeks or months, to up to a year. Last, but not least, this procedure often works well for patients who want to find adequate pain relief during their rehabilitation programs.
