At New York Sports Spine Pain Medicine, we understand how debilitating nerve pain can interfere with your ability to stay active and enjoy life. That’s why we offer Peripheral Nerve Blocks—a safe, minimally invasive solution that effectively manages chronic pain and helps restore your quality of life.

What Are Peripheral Nerve Blocks?
Peripheral Nerve Blocks involve the precise injection of a local anesthetic, sometimes combined with a corticosteroid, near a specific peripheral nerve. These nerves are located outside the spinal cord and transmit pain signals from various areas of the body to the brain. By interrupting these signals, Peripheral Nerve Blocks provide targeted pain relief, reducing discomfort and inflammation.

Conditions Treated with Peripheral Nerve Blocks:
-Chronic nerve pain in the arms, legs, shoulders, or other extremities
-Post-surgical pain or pain following injuries
-Neuropathy caused by conditions such as diabetes or nerve entrapment
-Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
-Sports injuries or overuse-related nerve pain

Benefits of Peripheral Nerve Blocks:
-Immediate and Effective Pain Relief: By blocking the nerve signals, patients often experience rapid and -noticeable pain reduction.
-Minimally Invasive: The procedure is quick, safe, and performed on an outpatient basis, requiring minimal downtime.
-Improved Mobility and Function: Pain relief allows patients to resume daily activities, physical therapy, and an active lifestyle.
-Non-Surgical Solution: Peripheral Nerve Blocks offer an alternative to more invasive procedures or long-term reliance on medications.

The Procedure
The Peripheral Nerve Block procedure is performed in our state-of-the-art facility using fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance to ensure precision and effectiveness. A fine needle is carefully positioned near the targeted nerve, and the medication is administered with pinpoint accuracy. The procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, and patients can often return to their normal activities on the same day.

At New York Sports Spine Pain Medicine, we take a comprehensive and individualized approach to managing chronic nerve pain. Peripheral Nerve Blocks are often part of a broader treatment plan that may include physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, or regenerative medicine techniques to promote long-term relief and healing.
