An epidural is normally given by an anesthesiologist, although the obstetrician is well qualified to also perform it. And an epidural, especially nowadays, is not necessarily given for "difficult" births. It is, like you said, a pain relief measure. It can, however, only be given during a short window of time. Given too soon, it can slow labor down. And given too late can cause problems also.
