Nerve Blocks

Nerve Blocks is available through Sports Medicine North at a published cash price, paid when you book.

A nerve block is a medical procedure in which a local anesthetic or other medications are injected near or directly into a specific nerve or group of nerves to temporarily block the transmission of pain signals. Nerve blocks are used to manage pain, diagnose the source of pain, or provide relief during and after surgery. The goal of a nerve block is to alleviate pain and improve a patient's comfort and quality of life.| Nerve blocks can be classified into various types, including peripheral nerve blocks (targeting nerves outside the central nervous system), epidural or spinal blocks (used for pain relief during childbirth or certain surgeries), and sympathetic nerve blocks (targeting the sympathetic nervous system for conditions like complex regional pain syndrome). The specific type of nerve block and the location of injection depend on the patient's condition and the intended purpose of the procedure.
