Cervical Epidural Injection Inland Empire

If neck pain, arm pain, tingling, or numbness is limiting your day, a cervical epidural steroid injection (ESI) may help calm inflammation around irritated nerves in the neck. At University Pain Consultants, cervical ESIs are performed under live X-ray (fluoroscopy) by board-certified pain physicians in Riverside, Corona, Menifee, Temecula, Hemet, and San Bernardino.

Insurance-based care: University Pain Consultants accepts most major insurance plans at all six locations.

Who this is for

Neck pain with pain, tingling, or numbness into the shoulder or arm (cervical radiculopathy)
Symptoms related to a herniated disc, pinched nerve, or spinal stenosis in the neck
Patients across the Inland Empire who have tried conservative care without enough relief

Who may not be a good candidate

Active infection or medical issues that make injection unsafe
Symptoms better explained by a non-nerve problem
Expectation of a permanent cure from one injection

What a cervical epidural is (plain language)

Anti-inflammatory steroid is placed in the epidural space around irritated cervical nerves. We numb the skin thoroughly, wait for the local anesthetic to work, then complete the injection under fluoroscopy — usually awake, without IV sedation — at the UPC office you choose.

Does a cervical epidural hurt?

Most patients worry about the neck more than anything else. Thorough local anesthetic and an unhurried pace are the keys to comfort. Watch a real cervical ESI without sedation:

What to expect

Evaluation and imaging review at your preferred UPC location
Outpatient fluoroscopy-guided cervical ESI with local anesthesia
Mild neck soreness for a day or two is common; steroid relief often builds over days
Follow-up to assess response
