Nerve block injections are a minimally invasive medical procedure that is used to temporarily stop pain. They block the transmission of pain signals sent from your nerves, stopping chronic pain and inflammation in other areas of your body.
This injection involves administering an anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication to a specific nerve or group of nerves. Carried out in a swift 15-20 minute procedure, the effects of a nerve block can last a few days, several weeks, or up to a month. In this period, your damaged nerve will have time to heal from constant inflammation and irritation.
An nerve block injection is often used to treat acute or chronic pain in the buttocks, legs, arms, and back. It can also be a source of diagnostic information, where our doctors will pinpoint where your chronic pain is coming from.
Also, if you have a spinal surgery scheduled, you may be given a nerve block to help control pain following a procedure. Before having a nerve block, a consultation with one of our pain management specialists will be required first. In this consultation, they’ll sit with you to discuss your medical history and symptoms and then produce a personalized treatment plan that helps alleviate your pain.
All of our physicians are licensed board members and have numerous qualifications in pain management and anesthesiology. Alongside their accreditations, they’re highly reputed across Wisconsin for their clinical experience, advanced surgical techniques, and patient-centric approach.
If you are experiencing chronic or acute pain, don’t wait any longer – book an appointment to discuss the best treatment approach.
