What Are Nerve Blocks?
Chronic pain can make everyday life harder. Nerve blocks offer relief by targeting the source of discomfort with a precise approach. At Aspire Spine & Headache Pain Center, patients receive advanced treatments designed to improve their well-being. A nerve block procedure is an injection that helps reduce pain by numbing specific nerves. This treatment is commonly used for headaches, neck pain, back pain, and other chronic conditions. Aspire Spine & Headache Pain Center offers trigeminal nerve blocks and occipital nerve blocks, which are especially effective for migraine and facial pain relief. Dr. Daljit Buttar and his staff perform these treatments to provide effective pain management. Schedule a consultation at our Raleigh or Charlotte, NC practice to take the first step toward finding relief with a personalized care plan.
How Do Nerve Blocks Work?
A nerve block injection contains a local anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medication that temporarily disrupts pain signals. The injection is placed near the targeted nerve to provide relief. Trigeminal nerve blocks help manage facial pain by targeting the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from the face to the brain. These injections are often used to treat trigeminal neuralgia and chronic migraines. Occipital nerve blocks focus on the occipital nerves at the back of the head. This treatment is commonly used for occipital neuralgia, tension headaches, and cervicogenic headaches. By reducing inflammation and blocking pain signals, these injections can provide significant relief. The effects of a nerve block procedure can last anywhere from a few days to several months, depending on the condition and the individual's response to treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Nerve Blocks?
A nerve block procedure can provide immediate and long-term relief from chronic pain. These treatments are often part of a comprehensive pain management plan with the following benefits:
- Fast pain relief after the injection
- Reduced inflammation in the affected area
- Improved mobility and function
- Minimized need for oral pain medication
- Effective migraine and headache relief with targeted injections
- Quick, in-office procedure with little downtime
