Dias Assis – Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection – Lumbar and Sacral

Dr. Fabricio Dias Assis presents on transforaminal epidural steroid injections (lumbar and sacral). First, he discusses lumbosacral radicular syndrome. This is also known as nerve root pain and is the most common form of recurring pain.

This has many risk factors, including female gender, obesity, smoking, heavy manual labor, and more. He differentiates between radicular pain from radiculopathy. Transforaminal injections do not necessarily need steroid injections. He describes research on this topic and more.
