Nerve Blocks
A nerve block is a medical procedure used to reduce or eliminate pain by temporarily interrupting nerve signals. A doctor injects an anesthetic near a specific nerve or group of nerves, which can numb a particular area of the body. This technique is often used for surgeries, pain management, or chronic pain relief. By blocking pain signals, nerve blocks help patients feel more comfortable during procedures or improve their quality of life by managing pain without always relying on medications.
