How An Epidural Is Performed For Pain - With Lumbar Spine Anatomy Review

Ever wonder how an epidural steroid injection for pain is performed? Look no further! In this relatively brief demonstration, Dr. Derick Davis reviews some of the steps necessary to perform a lumbar interlaminar epidural injection. Additionally, he reviews some of the lumbar spine anatomy that you commonly see during fluoroscopically guided procedures for the lumbar spine. Below are some journal articles that are relevant to both the field of pain and performing fluoroscopically guided procedures.
