Nerve blocks are often used to treat chronic pain conditions such as sciatica, neck pain, back pain, and other types of pain that originate in the peripheral nervous system.
There are several different types of nerve blocks available, each designed to target specific nerves or regions of the body. Some of the most common types of nerve blocks include:
Epidural injections: Epidural injections are used to target the spinal nerves that carry pain signals from the peripheral nerves to the brain. They are often used to treat conditions such as sciatica, back pain, and neck pain.
Facet joint injections: Facet joint injections are used to target the small joints in the spine that can become painful and contribute to chronic pain conditions.
Trigger point injections: Trigger point injections are used to target areas of the body that are tender to the touch and can contribute to chronic pain conditions.
Stellate ganglion blocks: Stellate ganglion blocks are used to target the nerves that originate in the neck and contribute to pain in the face, arms, and upper body.
Celiac plexus blocks: Celiac plexus blocks are used to target the nerves that originate in the abdomen and contribute to abdominal pain.
Nerve blocks are a valuable option for individuals who are experiencing chronic pain and have not found relief through other forms of treatment.
