Nerve Blocks
The doctors supported by Northern Neuroscience offer specialised nerve block treatments to help manage chronic pain and improve the quality of life for their patients. The experienced clinicians we support use advanced techniques to provide targeted pain relief for a variety of conditions.
What are Nerve Blocks?
Nerve blocks involve the injection of local anaesthetics, steroids, or other medications near specific nerves to interrupt pain signals to the brain. This treatment can provide temporary or prolonged pain relief, depending on the medication used and the condition being treated.
Conditions Treated with Nerve Blocks
Nerve blocks can be effective for managing pain associated with various conditions, including:
- Chronic back and neck pain
- Sciatica
- Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
- Postherpetic neuralgia (shingles pain)
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Headaches and migraines
