Welcome to PrimdeVie, your trusted provider of transforaminal epidural steroid injection and selective nerve root block treatments. If you're seeking effective solutions for chronic pain, you've come to the right place. Our specialized procedures can help alleviate your discomfort and improve your overall quality of life.

Understanding Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections

Transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at reducing inflammation-related nerve compression and providing pain relief. This targeted treatment addresses a variety of conditions, including:

  • Herniated discs
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spondylolisthesis
  • Sciatica

During the TFESI procedure, a steroid medication, combined with a local anesthetic, is injected directly into the epidural space near the affected nerve roots. This helps to reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain, allowing you to experience considerable relief.

The Benefits of Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections

Choosing transforaminal epidural steroid injections as your treatment option offers numerous advantages. These include:

  • Significant pain reduction: TFESI targets the root cause of your pain and provides long-lasting relief.
  • Minimal downtime: The procedure is minimally invasive and requires only a short recovery period.
  • Non-surgical approach: TFESI provides an effective alternative to surgical interventions, reducing risks and complications.
  • Improved mobility and functionality: By reducing pain, TFESI helps to improve your overall range of motion and quality of life.

The Selective Nerve Root Block Procedure

Another effective treatment we offer is the selective nerve root block (SNRB). SNRB targets specific nerves that are causing pain by selectively delivering steroids to the affected area. Similar to TFESI, SNRB offers remarkable benefits for a variety of conditions, including:

  • Herniated discs
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Facet joint arthritis
  • Spondylolisthesis

During the SNRB procedure, a local anesthetic is first administered to numb the target area. Then, under fluoroscopic guidance, a small needle is carefully inserted near the affected nerve. A combination of steroids and a long-acting local anesthetic is then injected, providing pain relief and reducing inflammation.

The Advantages of Selective Nerve Root Block Treatment

Opting for selective nerve root block treatment offers several advantages:

  • Precise pain relief: SNRB targets the specific nerve causing your pain, offering localized relief.
  • Non-surgical approach: SNRB is a safe and effective alternative to surgery.
  • Improved functionality: By reducing pain and inflammation, SNRB helps restore your capacity to perform daily activities.
  • Minimal downtime: The procedure has a short recovery period, allowing you to resume your normal routine swiftly.
