What Is A Nerve Block Injection?
A nerve block injection is a medical procedure used to relieve pain by interrupting pain signals sent by nerves to the brain. This minimally invasive treatment involves injecting an anesthetic, steroid, or other medication near a specific nerve or group of nerves to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief.
Ultrasound-guided nerve block injections enhance precision by allowing healthcare professionals to visualize the targeted nerve in real time, ensuring accurate placement of the medication. These injections are commonly used to manage chronic pain conditions, post-surgical pain, and pain from injuries or nerve-related disorders.
What Conditions Do Nerve Block Injections Treat?
Nerve block injections are used to treat chronic pain associated with various conditions that include:
Chronic Pain Conditions: Arthritis, back pain, and neck pain can all be successfully treated with nerve block injections. This treatment can provide immediate relief from common conditions like osteoarthritis of the joints, sciatica, herniated discs, and cervical radiculopathy.
Neuropathic Pain: Conditions such as diabetic neuropathy or postherpetic neuralgia (pain following shingles) can be treated by nerve block injections to help alleviate pain caused by nerve damage and dysfunction.
Headaches and Migraines: Nerve blocks are used for certain types of chronic headaches, including cluster headaches and tension headaches.
Post-Surgical Pain: When surgery causes nerve irritation, nerve blocks can often be used to help reduce pain.
Cancer Pain: Nerve blocks can help provide relief from severe or persistent pain in some patients with cancer.
