A transforaminal epidural is a type of injection used to deliver steroids directly into the space around a spinal nerve root. When guided by ultrasound, this procedure allows for real-time imaging of the targeted area, ensuring precise delivery of the medication. It's commonly used to reduce pain and inflammation from conditions like a herniated disc or spinal stenosis. #backpain #doctor #painmanagement | Precision Care Medical & Sports Performance
