An epidural injection is used to inject medication into the epidural space.
The epidural space is the area between the spinal cord sac, or dura, and the inside of the bony spinal canal. It contains fat and small blood vessels. The nerves from the spinal cord travel through the epidural space on the way to the trunk and limbs. An injection into the epidural space will coat the dura, the nerve roots and the malpractice animations. Visit http:/www.medilaw.tv for more information.
