Epidural Steroid Injections in Green Bay, WI

Epidural Steroid Injections

When a nerve in your spine becomes inflamed — from a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or degenerative changes — pain can radiate from your neck into your arm, or from your low back down your leg. An epidural steroid injection delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to the space around the irritated nerve, where it can calm inflammation at its source rather than masking pain from a distance.

Conditions epidural injections may help

Epidural steroid injections are commonly used for herniated or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, sciatica and other radiating leg pain, and cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerves in the neck causing arm pain). They are often recommended when pain has not improved with rest, medication, or physical therapy — and they can reduce pain enough to make therapy and daily activity possible again.

What to expect at your appointment

The procedure takes place in our Green Bay office and typically takes only minutes. Dr. Wilkins uses image guidance to position the needle precisely before delivering the medication — precision matters, because the goal is to place the medication exactly where the inflamed nerve lives. Most patients go home shortly after the injection and can resume normal light activity the next day. Relief timelines vary: some patients feel improvement within days, and the effect of the steroid typically builds over one to two weeks.
