Nerve Blocks
A nerve block works by preventing pain signals from reaching the brain.
What Are Nerve Blocks?
Nerve blocks are an effective interventional pain management technique used to improve quality of life and assist patients with managing their pain. Nerve blocks prevent pain signals from reaching the brain by disrupting pain signaling around the body. To administer a nerve block, your doctor will inject an anti-inflammatory medication, local anesthetic, or a combination of both, around a particular nerve or a group of nerve endings to provide short-term or long-term pain relief to the patient.
