• You will be placed face down on the exam table

​​

• Our technician will raise your shirt and slightly lower your pants to expose your lower back area

 

• The Fluoroscopy Machine (Live X-Ray) is placed around you   

This will be used to guide Dr. Witmer to the treatment area

 

• Dr. Witmer will then clean and sterilize the area with cold swabs

​

• Once the area is sterilized it is important to keep your hands away from the area being treated to prevent contamination

 

• Dr. Witmer will now numb the area

You may feel the initial stick of the needle like trigger injections

 

• Under live x-ray Dr. Witmer will guide the epidural needle to the treatment area

 

• Now the medicine will be inserted

You may feel the medicine being administered. This feeling is different for everyone.

Feeling pressure in the area where you experience symptoms is normal.

Your comfort is most important to COR Spine & Pain Center-if the pressure is building please let Dr. Witmer know.

 

• Once the procedure is complete our technician will wipe down the area and give you a band aid.

 

• When you are ready you can check out and schedule your follow up appointment
