LESI

A Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection (LESI) is a minimally invasive procedure utilized to treat pain caused by pinched or inflamed nerves in the back. Corticosteroids are usually used for the injection.

• A local anesthetic is used to numb the skin on the patient’s back
• A needle is inserted into the skin and Fluoroscopy (Live X-Ray) is used to guide the needle into the epidural space near the spinal cord
• After the needle is confirmed to be in the proper place, the medication is slowly injected
