Understanding Nerve Block Treatment

Nerve block treatment involves injecting medication, typically a local anesthetic and/or a corticosteroid, near specific nerves or groups of nerves. The primary goal is to interrupt pain signals traveling to the brain, providing significant and often immediate relief. This procedure can be both diagnostic and therapeutic. As a diagnostic tool, a successful nerve block can confirm which specific nerve is causing your pain, guiding further treatment. Therapeutically, the injected medication can reduce inflammation and calm irritated nerves, offering sustained pain reduction.

At Commonwealth Physical Therapy, our experienced team utilizes precise imaging guidance, such as fluoroscopy or ultrasound, to ensure accurate needle placement. This meticulous approach maximizes the effectiveness of the treatment while minimizing discomfort and potential risks.

What to Expect During Your Nerve Block Procedure

Your journey at Commonwealth Physical Therapy begins with an initial consultation and a comprehensive evaluation. If a nerve block is deemed appropriate, our team will thoroughly explain the procedure, answer any questions you may have, and provide detailed instructions for preparation.

On the day of your procedure, you will be comfortably positioned, and the injection site will be cleaned. A local anesthetic will be used to numb the area. Under image guidance (fluoroscopy or ultrasound), our specialist will precisely guide a thin needle to the targeted nerve. The medication will then be injected. The procedure is typically quick, and you will be monitored in a comfortable recovery area for a short period afterward. Most patients can return home shortly after the procedure.
