Procedure

Nerve Block

A nerve block is a procedure that interrupts pain signals traveling along a specific nerve or group of nerves. By injecting anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication near targeted nerves, the procedure can provide significant pain relief and help diagnose the exact source of pain. Nerve blocks are used throughout the body to address pain from many conditions, including complex regional pain syndrome, headaches, and nerve injuries. At Spinal Interventions, nerve blocks are performed under imaging guidance to ensure precise, safe delivery of medication.
