What Are Nerve Blocks and How Do They Work?
Nerve blocks are a common tool in interventional pain management used by pain management doctors to help diagnose and treat acute or chronic pain. A nerve block involves injecting a local anesthetic, often combined with steroid medication, near specific nerves to temporarily interrupt pain signals and reduce inflammation at the root cause of pain. Nerve blocks are used to help manage nerve pain, joint pain, and spine-related conditions. They may be used as a standalone treatment or as part of a broader personalized treatment plan. For many patients suffering from chronic pain, nerve blocks offer meaningful pain relief and improved daily function.
