TARGETED PAIN MANAGEMENT PHOENIX, AZ
Peripheral Nerve Injections
Targeted injections to help manage nerve-related pain.
TREATMENT OVERVIEW
What Is A Peripheral Nerve Injection?
Your nervous system runs like a highway throughout your body, carrying signals that let you move, feel, and react. But when a nerve becomes irritated, pinched, or inflamed, it can send nonstop pain signals, even when there’s no real threat. This often leads to burning, tingling, or shooting pain that can make daily life difficult.
A peripheral nerve injection delivers targeted medication directly around the affected nerve to calm inflammation, reduce pain, and restore comfort. At Mountain View Headache & Spine Institute, with clinics in Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, and Peoria, Arizona, we use nerve injections to help patients manage conditions like sciatica, neuropathy, and nerve injuries without depending on long-term medications.

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 small amount of medication is injected near the nerve to help reduce 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.
