Spinal Analgesia

Spinal analgesia is a medical technique used to relieve pain by injecting medications into the spinal canal. This method blocks pain signals from reaching the brain, providing effective pain relief, especially during surgeries or after injuries. It can involve procedures like spinal blocks or epidurals, where anesthetics are delivered near the spine to numb specific areas of the body. Spinal analgesia is commonly used in childbirth and various surgeries, allowing patients to remain awake and comfortable while minimizing discomfort and pain. The effects can be temporary or last longer, depending on the type of medication used.
