Nerve Blockades

Nerve blockades are medical procedures used to temporarily interrupt nerve signals in a specific area of the body. This is achieved by injecting anesthetic medication near a nerve or group of nerves. The primary purpose is to numb sensations, relieve pain during surgeries or medical procedures, and manage chronic pain. By blocking pain signals, nerve blockades can enhance comfort and improve recovery. They are commonly used in dental work, orthopedic surgery, and pain management, providing an effective alternative to general anesthesia or pain medications.
