Pain Specialists of Cincinnati

Chronic low back pain is common in pain management, and many injections require extensive workups, physical therapy, and imaging to get insurance approval. Caudal epidural steroid injections (Caudal ESI) are our first line of attack against chronic low back pain. Caudal ESIs involve introducing steroids into the sacral epidural space in the tailbone in an attempt to reduce inflammation in the nerves causing pain in the low back, buttocks, hips, and thighs, which can provide significant pain relief while getting through all the red tape!  Contact us today to set up a consult, or for regular patients, talk to the staff at your next follow up! Below. is an actual depiction of a caudal epidural steroid injection being performed in the sacrum (tailbone region) under x-ray guidance.

Occipital Nerve Blocks (ONB) are just one way we can treat headaches here at Pain Specialists of Cincinnati. In this procedure, a small amount of steroids and numbing agent are introduced along the occipital nerve, providing the opportunity for significant reduction in inflammation and in turn a significant reduction in the amount of headaches you may experience !  Contact us today to set up a consult, or for regular patients, talk to the staff at your next follow up!

Radiculopathy is characterized by pain, numbness, or tingling shooting down the arms or legs from the spine, generally caused by nerve compression from a variety of issues, including sciatica. We can perform multiple types of epidural injections to help diagnose the cause as well as give you short term to long term pain relief!  Contact us today to set up a consult, or for regular patients, talk to the staff at your next follow up!
