    Dr. Richard Epter discusses epidural lysis of adhesions. He begins with a brief history of epidural analgesia techniques and a review of pain generators. Dr. Epter then considers factors that influence epidural fibrosis-related pain perception and the significance of pro-inflammatory mediators in lumbar pain. He concludes with an in-depth discussion of strategies for epidural access, procedural and technical recommendations, and potential complications.
