What is a Nerve Block?
A nerve block involves injecting a local anesthetic or medication near a specific nerve to interrupt pain signals. This helps relieve discomfort and improve function in the affected area.

How Can Nerve Blocks Help?
Nerve blocks are used to:
• Manage chronic pain caused by nerve irritation or inflammation.
• Improve mobility and quality of life.
• Reduce the need for long-term oral medications.

After the Procedure
You may experience temporary numbness or soreness near the injection site. Most patients can resume normal activities shortly after.

Possible Side Effects
• Mild bruising or swelling
• Temporary weakness or numbness
• Rarely, infection or allergic reaction
