“I visited CB Physiotherapy because I pulled my hamstring. I consulted Dr. Meghna here who gave me a one week treatment plan and suffice to say I started to see results after the first session itself. I was unable to sit and had a lot of pain while walking. After my first session, I was able to walk better and sit better. By the end of the week, I had no pain. They have good infrastructure here and offer various treatments from cupping therapy to laser treatment. I would definitely recommend Dr. Meghna over any other physiotherapist in Saket if not Delhi.”
“I went for consultation for my knee pain and there I met Dr Rahul He took my consultation and sessions for 9 days and he was supr throughout the sessions and now it's so easy for me to be back in daily routine.”
“I had an amazing experience with Dr. Rahul also he took care of everything regarding my lower back strain also they have all the equipment which can help them to cure from the pain or injury. It was a great overall experience with the clinic staff too”
“Hello, I had 15 sessions with them. Overall all sessions were good. Their staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. A special thanks to Mr. Rahul and Ms. Mehak. Both them really helped with my pain on right shoulder and explained about basic and various exercises which i should do on regular basis. Would definitely recommend others.”
“Dr. Deepanshu is an exceptional physiotherapist! His personalized treatment plan and hands-on techniques helped me recover from chronic back pain effectively. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. His positive attitude and encouragement made the entire process motivating and stress-free. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-notch physiotherapy care!”
“Dr. Rahul is an amazing physiotherapist! He genuinely cares about his patients and tailors treatments to fit your needs. Thanks to him, I’ve seen great progress and feel so much better. Highly recommend.”
Epidural Steroid Injection (ESI) is a minimally invasive spine pain injection used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain caused by irritated spinal nerves.
The injection is given in the epidural space (the area around the spinal cord and nerve roots).
Usually, two medications are injected:
Local Anesthetic
Purpose:
Gives immediate pain relief
Confirms correct nerve level
Improves patient comfort during procedure
Corticosteroid
Purpose:
Reduces inflammation around compressed nerve roots
Controls swelling
Provides long-term pain relief
The anesthesia works immediately, while the steroid starts working within 24–72 hours.
Why Both Are Used?
Immediate pain relief (local anesthetic)
Long-term inflammation control (steroid)
Diagnostic + therapeutic benefit
Lumbar Epidural Injection – for lower back and leg pain
Cervical Epidural Injection – for neck and arm pain
Caudal Epidural Injection – given from tailbone area
Transforaminal Epidural Injection – targeted nerve root injection
An epidural injection works by reducing inflammation around irritated spinal nerve roots, which are usually compressed by a disc bulge, herniation, or spinal stenosis.
Exact Procedure (Step-by-Step)
Patient lies prone or sideways
Skin is cleaned and sterilized
Local anesthesia given to numb skin
Needle inserted under fluoroscopy (X-ray guidance)
Contrast dye used to confirm correct position
Steroid + anesthetic injected
Needle removed and small dressing applied
Procedure time: 15–30 minutes
Observation time: 30–60 minutes
Same-day discharge
During procedure:
Mild pressure sensation
Temporary tingling in leg/arm (normal)
After procedure:
Immediate relief due to anesthetic
Mild soreness at injection site
Steroid effect begins in 1–3 days
The number of epidural steroid injections required depends on the severity of nerve inflammation and the patient’s response to the first injection.
Usually 1 injection initially
Maximum 3 injections per year (depending on condition)
Often spaced 2–4 weeks apart
(Depends on severity & response)
Yes, when performed under image guidance by a trained pain specialist.
Possible minor side effects:
Temporary increase in pain
Facial flushing
Temporary rise in blood sugar
Serious complications are rare.
The effects of epidural steroid injection are as follows:
Faster inflammation control
Reduced nerve irritation
Relief in radiating pain (sciatica)
Improved mobility
Better participation in physiotherapy
May delay or avoid surgery
Here are the contraindications for Epidural Steroid Injection:
Active local or systemic infection
Uncontrolled bleeding disorder
Patient on anticoagulants (without proper stoppage protocol)
Allergy to steroid, local anesthetic, or contrast dye
Lack of patient consent
Relative Contraindications (Use Caution)
Uncontrolled diabetes (steroids raise blood sugar)
Severe spinal deformity
Pregnancy
Severe spinal canal compromise
Uncontrolled hypertension
Immunocompromised patients
After pain relief, physiotherapy is essential as it helps:
Strengthen core muscles
Improve spinal stability
Prevent recurrence
Restore functional movement
Long-term results
Reduced dependency on repeated injections.
