Understanding Selective Nerve Root Block Injections

A selective nerve root block is a minimally invasive procedure designed to address pain originating from an irritated or compressed nerve root in the spine. Our spine is composed of vertebrae, discs, and a complex network of nerves that branch out from the spinal cord to various parts of the body. When one of these nerve roots becomes inflamed due to conditions like a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or arthritis, it can lead to localized pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that radiates along the path of that specific nerve.

What to Expect During Your SNRB Procedure

At Commonwealth Pain & Spine Louisville South, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Before the procedure, our pain specialists will conduct a thorough evaluation, including reviewing your medical history, symptoms, and any previous diagnostic tests. Imaging may be ordered to further pinpoint the pain source.

On the day of the injection, you will be positioned comfortably, typically lying face down on an X-ray table. The injection site will be cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic. Using fluoroscopic guidance, our physician will carefully advance the needle to the target nerve root. You might feel some pressure, but significant pain is uncommon. Once the needle is in place, the medication is slowly injected. The entire procedure typically takes only a few minutes, though you should allow about an hour for the complete visit, including preparation and a brief recovery period.
