A lumbar caudal epidural steroid injection is an outpatient procedure for treating low back and leg pain.
Facet & root blocks are injection into a specific joints of spine and along the nerve roots as required.
Introduction
In a lumbar epidural injection, an anti-inflammatory medicine is injected into the epidural space to reduce inflammation. A local anesthetic (numbing medicine) may also be injected. When the injection is done through the bony opening in your tailbone then this is called a caudal epidural injection. An injection in a joint of the back is called a facet joint injection. An injection along the nerve root sleeve is called a root block.
Getting Ready for Treatment :
• Provide a list of all medicines you take, including aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs.
• Don’t eat 6 hours before the injection but you can have a light drink 4 hours before injection.
• Arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home after the procedure.
• Bring all X-ray & MRI images on the day of the procedure
• You need to stop blood thinning drugs like asprin, clopidogriel etc. 5 – 7 days before the injection. But consult your cardiologist before hand.
During the Procedure:
The injection takes just a few minutes. But extra time is needed to get ready. Alocal anesthetic will be used to numb your skin. The doctor will then insert a thin needle directly into the epidural space. A type of X-ray or C-arm may be used to ensure the safe and proper position of the needle. Contrast “dye” may be injected into your back, this helps get a better image. Once the doctor is sure the needle is correctly placed the medicine will be injected.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dr Shankar Acharya is one of the best few Ortho - Spine Surgeons in the country. I had a cervical bone fracture with spinal code compression and was in an extreme critical situation when I was taken to Dr Acharya. It was on 2015 and within a year thankfully I had a complete recovery. I could get back to my life with that much ease which I never thought would be possible.
Personally he is no less than a God to my family and me. It is also important to mention the personal care and attention I had received from the team throughout the treatment and even during review meetings. Dr Saurabh Mathur- the physio in the team was really supportive and helpful.
Thank you Dr Shankar Acharya for giving me back my life and family, even when many other doctors had literally given up on me.
Thank you for giving me the hope and confidence. I still remember your words "Vijayasree you can play veena, drive and do whatever you want and you are in a new good life'.
Doctor I do sincerely pray and wish that u can create more miracles in many lives.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Zero star is not allowed otherwise he doesn't deserve a single star.
Totally unprofessional doctor... Was not interested to focus on patient didn't focus on x rays just because previously we were consulting another doctor in same hospital, 2-3 hour waiting and 2000 Rs OPD fee.. Result disappointment..
I visited him for my mother, she is having spine issues. She was operated in Sir Ganga Ram Hospital by another doctor in his department (spine department) for slip disc. She didn't get any benefit after surgery even her pain increased. So we planned to consult Dr Shankar Acharya as he is famous doctor and chairman of that department.
After 10 days waiting we got appointment, we waited for more than 2 hr in his OPD and paid 2 thousand for that. He saw our file and came to know that she had operation in GangaRam hospital and in 2-3 minutes meeting his all focus was only on his words that knowingly or unknowingly there should be any word against his team doctor or about surgery. He was not interested to tell us the root cause of pain and other issues, he said
" Jis doctor ne operation kiya.. unn k pass he jaao ..vo acche doctor hai....kya huva jo abhi aaram nai huva .. abhi tho 7 month he huve hai.. 7 year to nai ho gaaye....tum chahate ho tho chalo 1-2 goli mai likh deta hu .."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I visited Dr Shankar Acharya a few years ago. He seemed very uncaring, distracted and completely lacking in the empathy for his patient. He did not seem very concerned about my pain or my condition. Just prescribed painkillers and my problem remained the same.
