Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections for Neck, Shoulder, and Arm Pain
A cervical epidural steroid injection is a shot to relieve chronic pain. The shot goes into a space near the spine and has anti-inflammatory effects. It’s best for pain that’s the result of nerve injury or damage. Cervical epidural injections may have to be repeated for ongoing pain relief. Insurance and some government programs may cover the costs. The out-of-pocket expenses for those without coverage are similar to the costs of conservative pain treatment.
