At Tennessee Pain Associates, we understand how debilitating chronic back pain can be. Whether it’s preventing you from enjoying time with family, exercising, or simply getting through the workday, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Fortunately, there are advanced, minimally invasive treatments that can help—without the risks of surgery.

What is a Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection (TFESI)?

A TFESI is a targeted pain relief injection that delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to the irritated nerves in your lower back. Using X-ray guidance, our expert pain management specialists ensure precision and safety, reducing pain and inflammation at the source.

The Benefits of TFESI Over Surgery:

✅ Minimally invasive – No incisions, no stitches, no long recovery.

✅ Quick procedure – Typically completed in less than 30 minutes.

✅ In-office treatment – No need for a hospital stay.

✅ Fast recovery – Most patients return to normal activities the next day.

✅ Lower risk – No general anesthesia, no surgical complications.
