Lumbar Epidural Injection in Montréal, Ottawa and Gatineau: Targeted Treatment for Chronic Low Back Pain
Lumbar epidural injections help relieve chronic low back pain and sciatica. Dr. Patrice Langlois, anesthesiologist and pain specialist, provides advanced care in Montréal, Ottawa and Gatineau.
Chronic low back pain is one of the most common causes of disability among adults in Montréal, Ottawa, and Gatineau. When associated with nerve irritation—such as lumbar disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or sciatica—pain can become persistent and severely limiting.
A lumbar epidural injection is designed to reduce inflammation around the lumbar nerve roots by delivering anti-inflammatory medication directly into the epidural space. This targeted approach addresses pain at its source rather than relying solely on systemic medications.
Dr. Patrice Langlois is an anesthesiologist and chronic pain management physician with extensive expertise in image-guided lumbar epidural injections. Precision is critical in lumbar interventions, particularly in patients with complex spinal anatomy or long-standing pain conditions.
For patients in Montréal, Ottawa, and Gatineau, lumbar epidural injections are often recommended when conservative treatments have failed. By reducing pain and inflammation, this intervention frequently allows patients to resume physical therapy and regain functional mobility.
As part of a comprehensive pain management plan, lumbar epidural injections can play a key role in improving quality of life and, in selected cases, delaying or avoiding spinal surgery.
