💉 Procedure Spotlight: Epidural Steroid Injections

If neck, back, or leg pain is keeping you from enjoying everyday life, an epidural steroid injection may help.

This minimally invasive procedure delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to the area around irritated spinal nerves, helping reduce inflammation and relieve pain caused by conditions such as:
• Herniated discs
• Spinal stenosis
• Sciatica
• Pinched nerves

Many patients experience improved comfort and are better able to participate in physical therapy and daily activities.

Every patient is unique, and our team works with you to determine the treatment plan that's right for your specific condition!

Did you know that some of your everyday habits could be contributing to neck, back, or joint pain? Small, repetitive movements and poor posture can place extra stress on your muscles, joints, and spine over time. Here are a few common habits that may be affecting your comfort:

🎒 Carrying a heavy purse or backpack
Uneven or excessive weight can strain your neck, shoulders, and back. Whenever possible, lighten your load and switch shoulders regularly if carrying a one-strap bag.

😴 Poor sleep positions
Sleeping on your stomach or using an unsupportive pillow can place your neck and spine in awkward positions. Aim to keep your spine in a neutral alignment while you sleep.

📱 Looking down at your phone or tablet
Spending hours looking down at a screen can lead to "text neck," causing stiffness, soreness, and headaches. Hold your device closer to eye level and take frequent stretch breaks.

🪑 Crossing your legs while sitting
Sitting with your legs crossed for long periods may contribute to muscle imbalances and place added stress on your hips and lower back. Try keeping both feet flat on the floor and maintain good posture.

Making small changes to your daily routine can help reduce strain on your spine and support long-term musculoskeletal health.

If your pain isn't improving or is interfering with your daily activities, the team at Wisconsin Spine & Pain is here to help identify the source of your discomfort and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

When people hear the word "core," they often think of abdominal muscles, but your core is much more than that.

Your core includes the muscles in your:
✔️ Abdomen
✔️ Lower back
✔️ Pelvis
✔️ Hips

Together, these muscles work to support your spine, improve balance, and help stabilize your body during everyday activities.

A weak core can place additional stress on your spine, potentially leading to poor posture, muscle strain, and back pain. Strengthening your core can help improve spinal stability, reduce the risk of injury, and support long-term spine health.

Simple exercises like bridges, bird-dogs, planks, and pelvic tilts can help build a stronger foundation for your back.

If back pain is limiting your daily activities, the specialists at Wisconsin Spine & Pain can help identify the cause and create a personalized treatment plan to get you moving comfortably again.

Have you ever felt pain in one part of your body, only to discover the source is somewhere else?

This phenomenon is called referred pain. Referred pain occurs when the brain interprets pain signals from one area of the body as coming from another.

Common examples include:
✔️ Neck problems causing shoulder pain
✔️ SI joint dysfunction causing pain in the buttocks or leg
✔️ Hip issues contributing to lower back pain

Because pain doesn't always occur where the problem originates, it can be difficult to identify the true source without a thorough evaluation.

At Wisconsin Spine & Pain, our specialists work to uncover the root cause of your pain and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you get back to doing what you love!
