What Are Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks?

A lumbar sympathetic block involves injecting a local anesthetic into the sympathetic nerves located in the lower back (lumbar spine). These nerves are responsible for sending pain signals from the lower body. By blocking these signals, the procedure can relieve pain and improve blood flow to the affected area.

How Do Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks Work?

During the procedure, a local anesthetic is injected into the lumbar region, specifically targeting the sympathetic nerves. This numbs the nerves, preventing them from transmitting pain signals to the brain. Most patients experience immediate pain relief that can last for several weeks to months.

Benefits of lumbar sympathetic blocks include:

Immediate pain relief
Improves mobility and function
Reduces chronic nerve pain
Minimally invasive procedure

Who Can Benefit from Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks?

What to Expect After a Lumbar Sympathetic Block
