💡 Understanding Lumbar Epidural Injections 💡 Lumbar epidural injections are a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve pain and inflammation in the lower back. The injection delivers a combination of local anesthetics and anti-inflammatory medications directly into the epidural space, targeting the affected nerves and reducing inflammation. By numbing the pain receptors and decreasing swelling, this procedure can provide significant pain relief and improve mobility. 🌈 Who Can Benefit
