Transforaminal injection is used to mitigate pain in the lower back, legs, and feet produced by herniated discs and other spinal issues. When the “roots” (the part closest to your spinal cord) of nerves that stretch from your spine to your legs become disturbed or swollen because of an impaired disc or other condition, it can cause an ache through the back down to your feet. Steroid medication injected into the region between your spine and spinal cord can reduce both pain and inflammation.
