What Are Nerve Block Injections?
Nerve block injections involve administering a local anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medication around or near specific nerves to block pain signals from reaching the brain. This targeted approach offers relief for various conditions, including chronic back pain, joint pain, and neuropathic pain. Nerve blocks are also used as a diagnostic tool to pinpoint the source of pain, helping patients and providers determine the most effective treatment plan.
How Do Nerve Block Injections Work?
The procedure works by numbing the targeted nerve(s) to interrupt the pain signals sent to the brain. A small amount of anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medication is injected around the nerve, providing immediate but temporary relief. Nerve blocks can reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and relieve pain for weeks or even months, depending on the condition being treated.
Some key benefits of nerve block injections include:
- Minimally invasive: Provides pain relief without the need for surgery.
- Quick results: Patients often experience immediate relief following the procedure.
- Long-lasting effects: Depending on the condition, the relief can last for weeks or longer.
- Diagnostic value: Helps identify the specific source of pain for more precise treatments.
Who Can Benefit from Nerve Block Injections?
Nerve block injections can provide effective relief for individuals suffering from various types of chronic and acute pain, including:
- Back and neck pain
- Joint pain (shoulder, knee, hip)
- Neuropathic pain (nerve-related pain)
- Chronic pain conditions, such as arthritis
- Post-surgical pain
At Power Spine & Pain, our team will thoroughly evaluate your condition to determine if nerve block injections are the right treatment for you.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The procedure for nerve block injections is quick and typically takes less than 10 minutes. After numbing the injection site, the doctor will use imaging guidance to accurately administer the injection near the targeted nerve. Patients can usually go home shortly after the procedure and begin to experience pain relief within hours.
The effects of nerve block injections can last from a few days to several months, depending on the condition being treated. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and determine if additional treatments are necessary.
