Overview
Epidural steroid injections are one of the most effective and widely used interventional treatments in pain medicine, delivering anti-inflammatory corticosteroid directly into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord and nerve roots. This precise delivery reduces inflammation around compressed or irritated nerves — providing significant relief for conditions such as sciatica, disc herniation, and spinal stenosis. Under Dr Malik’s care, every epidural injection is performed under real-time X-ray (fluoroscopic) guidance, ensuring the medication reaches exactly the right level of the spine for maximum effectiveness and safety. This image-guided precision is a hallmark of the specialist care Dr Malik provides to patients across Woking, Windsor, and Guildford.
