Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Block

Ultrasound-guided nerve block is a medical technique used to numb specific areas of the body during procedures or pain management. It involves using ultrasound imaging to locate nerves accurately. A doctor then injects an anesthetic close to these nerves, blocking pain signals to the brain. This method enhances precision, reduces risks, and can lead to faster recovery times compared to traditional techniques. It’s often used in surgeries or for treating chronic pain, providing effective pain relief while allowing for improved mobility post-procedure.
