Nerve Block
Nerve block is an anti-inflammatory procedure used for reducing pain in certain areas of the body. It is achieved by delivering a drug to block the pain signals from a specific nerve or group of nerves. Nerve block can be used to treat conditions such as sciatica and herniated discs, carpal tunnel syndrome, facial pain and even headaches. The procedure is relatively quick and simple, often taking no more than thirty minutes. Since the procedure is non-invasive and does not require general anesthesia, it is preferred by many patients for its quick recovery time and minimal risk of complications. For those experiencing chronic pain, nerve block can significantly improve the quality of life by providing relief from intense pain.
