  CONCLUSIONS
  Low back pain and radiculopathy afflict millions of people each year with enormous socioeconomic ramifications and individual disability. This condition has a prevalence of at least 13% and is the second most common symptom-related cause for office visits in the United States. Epidural injections have become the most commonly performed intervention in the management of chronic low back pain in the United States.
