What we treatWhat nerve blocks treatA nerve block is an injection made into a targeted nerve or group of nerves. It can treat nerve pain, the symptoms of nerve injury or damage, and chronic pain linked to nerve problems, while relieving inflammation and supporting natural healing. Nerve blocks can also accelerate recovery for injured nerves.Your physician may recommend one when other treatments have not worked, when pain is too severe to take part in rehabilitation, or as an alternative to surgery and other more invasive procedures.
TypesTypes we offerYour body has many nerves of different sizes and locations, so the block we recommend depends on which ones should be targeted. We tailor the choice to your condition and coordinate nerve blocks with other interventional options.The blocks we offer range from occipital and sphenopalatine ganglion blocks for head and face pain to medial branch, sympathetic, and sciatic nerve blocks for the spine and lower body.

What to expectWhat to expectYour physician sanitizes and numbs the area, then uses fluoroscopic x-ray guidance to place medication as close to the affected nerve as possible.Afterward you rest in our recovery suite for 15 to 30 minutes so we can watch for any side effects. Relief is often immediate, and longer-term relief can take up to two weeks when a steroid is used.If a sedative is used during the procedure, arrange a ride home and take the rest of the day to rest.
