How it works
Corticosteroid delivered adjacent to the inflamed nerve root reduces local oedema, prostaglandin production, and ectopic nerve discharge from the compressed nerve root.
Specialist-performed procedure under imaging guidance. Provides short-term (3–6 months) benefit — does not treat the underlying disc herniation. Best used to enable active rehabilitation during severe acute phases.
