Nerve blocks are among the most powerful tools in interventional pain medicine.
At Eshna Pain & Palliative Centre, all nerve block procedures are performed under imaging guidance — either ultrasound or fluoroscopy — ensuring that medication is delivered with precision to the exact target.
What Is a Nerve Block?
What Is a Nerve Block?
A nerve block is a procedure in which local anesthetic — with or without corticosteroid or other agents — is injected near a specific nerve or group of nerves to interrupt pain signal transmission. Nerve blocks can serve two purposes: Diagnostic (to confirm that a specific nerve is the source of your pain) and Therapeutic (to provide sustained pain relief).
