Nerve Block

Nerve block is an anesthetic procedure that temporarily interrupts communication between a group of nerves and the brain. An anesthetic drug is injected near a group of nerves, either near the surface of the skin or further into the body. This numbs the area, providing relief from pain and other sensations in the affected area for a period of time. Nerve blocks are used for a variety of conditions including migraines, chronic pain, nerve damage, and cancer-related pain. They can also be used to provide relief from certain symptoms during diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. Nerve blocks offer a safe and effective method of relieving pain and other symptoms with limited side effects.
