What is a Caudal Block?
A caudal block is a type of regional epidural anesthesia delivered through the sacral hiatus (lower back near the tailbone). It is widely used to relieve chronic lower back, pelvic, or leg pain, and also for postoperative pain control in lower limb and pelvic surgeries. It is safe, effective, and commonly performed in both adults and children.

Caudal Block (Pain Management) Treatment
A mixture of steroid and local anesthetic is injected into the caudal epidural space(base of the spine). The steroid reduces inflammation around irritated nerves,providing long-lasting pain relief.
Along with steroids, a local anesthetic is used to numb the area and give quick, shortterm pain reduction. This helps the patient move more comfortably right after theprocedure.
The doctor uses imaging guidance to ensure accurate placement of the needle into theepidural space. This increases safety and improves treatment effectiveness.
The medication helps calm irritated nerves caused by disc herniation, spinal stenosis,or chronic low back pain. This reduces symptoms such as numbness, tingling, orradiating pain.
The procedure requires only a small injection, involves no surgery, and has minimaldiscomfort. It is suitable even for patients who cannot undergo major spine surgery.
Many patients experience significant pain relief within a few days, allowing them toresume physiotherapy, daily activities, and normal movement with reduceddiscomfort.
Why You Should Not Delay
Untreated back or nerve pain can worsen over time, limit mobility, and reduce quality of life. A caudal block provides quick, effective relief, helping patients return to daily activities sooner.
