How Does A Nerve Block Procedure Work?
Preparation
You’ll be positioned comfortably, and the treatment area will be cleaned.
Targeted Needle Placement
Using imaging guidance, such as ultrasound or X-ray (fluoroscopy), when appropriate, your physician carefully places a small needle near the targeted nerve.
Medication Injection
A numbing medication is injected near the nerve or group of nerves to temporarily interrupt pain signals.
Monitoring & Follow-Up Appointment
You’ll be monitored for a short time, and your care team will review your response and next steps.
What Happens After The Injection?
You may experience temporary numbness or changes in pain as the medication takes effect.
Your care team will provide instructions on activity, recovery, and any recommended follow-up. The duration of pain relief varies depending on the type of nerve block, medication used, and individual response.
