Nerve Blocks
Anesthetic placed near a specific nerve to interrupt pain signals.
Overview
A nerve block injects local anesthetic — often with a steroid — next to a specific nerve to interrupt the pain signals it sends to the brain. Nerve blocks are both diagnostic and therapeutic: they confirm exactly which nerve is generating your pain and provide immediate relief.
Recovery & results
Numbness in the treated area is normal for several hours. Most patients resume regular activity the same or next day.
