Nerve Block for Treatment & Diagnosis

Nerve Block for Treatment & Diagnosis overview

Diagnostic and therapeutic nerve blocks to identify exact pain pathways and alleviate severe localized discomfort.

About This Service

Nerve blocks involve injecting local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication around specific nerves. They serve a dual purpose: confirming the precise anatomical source of pain (diagnostic) and providing meaningful, immediate symptom reduction (therapeutic).

What to Expect

Guided by ultrasound or fluoroscopy, our physicians precisely anesthetize the target nerve. You will track your pain relief over subsequent hours to confirm the diagnosis.

Is This Right for You?

Recommended for patients with complex, unverified pain sources or those preparing for long-term radiofrequency ablation.
