Having received these treatments myself with no consistent results, I am beyond excited to learn that this knowledge is now being mainstreamed in medicine! Freedom from chronic pain is possible and has been achieved by tens of thousands of sufferers – myself included:
This review found no solid evidence showing that epidural anesthetic or steroid injections, nerve blocks, and related interventions that are commonly used to treat chronic back pain are more effective than sham injections.
