Nerve Block Therapy

Targeted Relief with Precise Nerve Block Therapy

When chronic pain becomes unmanageable, nerve block therapy can offer a highly effective solution. This treatment involves injecting a numbing agent or anti-inflammatory medication directly onto or near a specific nerve or group of nerves. At Specialty Care Clinics in Greenville, we use precise guidance to ensure maximum relief with minimal discomfort.

How Nerve Blocks Work

Nerve blocks work by interrupting the pain signals sent along the nerves to the brain. This can provide both immediate relief and long-term reduction in inflammation. Different types of nerve blocks include:

• Therapeutic Nerve Blocks: Containing local anesthetics to control acute pain.
• Diagnostic Nerve Blocks: Used to identify the specific source of pain.
• Prognostic Nerve Blocks: Helping to predict the outcome of more permanent treatments.

Conditions Treated by Nerve Block Therapy

Our specialists use nerve blocks to treat various conditions, such as:

• Severe back and neck pain.
• Joint pain in the hips, knees, or shoulders.
• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
• Chronic headaches or migraines.
• Post-surgical pain management.

By targeting the source of the pain, nerve block therapy allows patients to participate in physical therapy and other rehabilitative activities that were previously too painful.
