Caudal epidural injection

A caudal epidural injection is a medical procedure where medication, usually a corticosteroid and numbing agent, is injected into the epidural space at the base of the spine through the tailbone (coccyx). This helps reduce inflammation and pain from conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, or spinal stenosis. The procedure is performed under imaging guidance to ensure accurate placement, providing targeted relief. It is minimally invasive, typically outpatient, and aimed at alleviating discomfort while improving mobility by decreasing nerve irritation.
