Bulk Billed Epidural Injections in Albany Creek
Epidural Injections
What Are Epidural Injections?
CT-guided epidural injections deliver medication—usually corticosteroids and local anaesthetic—into the epidural space around the spinal cord. These injections reduce inflammation and relieve chronic back or leg pain caused by herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or nerve irritation.
Advanced Imaging for Accurate Needle Placement
At Link Radiology, we use CT imaging to guide the needle precisely into the epidural space. This real-time imaging improves accuracy and reduces risk to nearby tissues.
Your Safety and Comfort Come First
We use local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort. Our experienced radiologists perform the procedure with sterile technique and closely monitor you for safety and comfort.
Comprehensive Image-Guided Pain Management
Epidural injections reduce nerve inflammation and ease pain, helping improve mobility and quality of life. They are often part of a wider pain management plan including physiotherapy.
