Epidural Corticosteroids for Sciatica: More Trouble Than They're Worth

Staying with the topic of epidural steroid injections ( which again are not approved by the FDA), this is an article by a chiropractic radiologist.These injections give modest improvement for sciatica which is temporary and no improvement for back pain alone ( but are often given for this reason) and can have serious side effects. In spite of this, costs for this procedure have risen 629% in the last ten years!
Do you think epidurals or chiropractic care have better average insurance reimbursement?
