Understanding Nerve Block Treatment

Nerve block treatment involves the injection of a local anesthetic, and often a corticosteroid, directly near specific nerves or nerve bundles responsible for transmitting pain signals. The anesthetic temporarily numbs the nerve, providing immediate pain relief, while the steroid reduces inflammation, offering longer-lasting effects.
Unlike systemic medications that affect the entire body, nerve blocks offer localized pain relief with fewer side effects. They are a valuable tool in a comprehensive pain management plan, often used in conjunction with physical therapy, medication management, and other interventional procedures.

What to Expect During and After Your Nerve Block

During the procedure, you will be comfortably positioned, and the injection site will be thoroughly cleaned. A local anesthetic may be used to numb the skin before the nerve block injection. You might feel a brief pressure or mild discomfort as the medication is administered. The entire procedure is typically quick, often lasting only a few minutes.

Following the injection, you will be monitored in a recovery area for a short period to ensure there are no immediate adverse reactions and that the medication is taking effect. If you received sedation, you will need to arrange for a ride home. It's common to experience some temporary soreness at the injection site. Pain relief can be immediate for some, while for others, it may take a few days for the corticosteroid to fully reduce inflammation and provide maximum benefit. Your physician will provide specific post-procedure instructions, including any activity restrictions and signs to watch for.
