Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injections

Introduction
Lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections is non- surgical management to improve the lower limb radicular symptoms.

Lower-limb radicular symptoms result from an inflammatory process of a nerve root in the lumbar spine.

Physical findings include sensory loss in a specific nerve root dermatome, weakness and atrophy of the muscle supplied by that nerve root, and muscle stretch.

The spinal stenosis, foraminal stenosis, space-occupying lesions, as well as the herniated inter-vertebral disc can induce the inflammatory changes and spinal nerve irritation.
