Welcome for International Patients

Sharp, radiating, or persistent nerve pain can disrupt work, sleep, and travel.

What Are Nerve Block Injections?

Nerve blocks deliver anesthetic (and sometimes anti-inflammatory medication) near specific nerves to decrease pain signaling, reduce inflammation around irritated structures, and help you move more comfortably. When performed under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance, nerve blocks can precisely target the source of pain with high safety and accuracy.

Conditions Nerve Blocks Can Help

• Spine & Radicular Pain: cervical/lumbar nerve irritation, sciatica-type symptoms
• Facet-Related Back/Neck Pain: medial branch blocks for diagnostic and therapeutic relief
• Shoulder/Arm/Wrist Pain: suprascapular, interscalene, or peripheral nerve targets (case-by-case)
• Knee/Ankle/Foot Pain: genicular nerve blocks, peripheral nerve entrapments
• Post-injury or Post-operative Pain: to facilitate early rehab and restore function

Final candidacy and the target nerve are confirmed after orthopedic assessment; not every condition requires a nerve block.

Types of Image-Guided Injections Offered

• Peripheral Nerve Blocks: targeted relief for upper or lower limb pain
• Medial Branch/Facet Blocks: for facet-driven neck or low-back pain
• Selective Nerve Root Blocks: for radiating arm/leg pain due to nerve irritation
• Complementary Options (as indicated): epidural steroid injections, PRP, viscosupplementation, shockwave (ESWT), and stem-cell–guided regenerative therapies
