lumbosacral transforaminal epidural injection at the level of L4-5, L5-S1, or S1 neural foramina
The most widely used injection therapy is epidural injection of steroids, by either the interlaminar route or the caudal route. More contentious are transforaminal injections of steroids. These involve the injection of steroids directly and accurately onto the affected spinal nerve, under radiologic guidance. Meanwhile, transforaminal injection of steroids has been shown to be more effective than interlaminar injection of steroids
