Selective Nerve Root Block Procedure

A Selective Nerve Root Block (SNRB) is a precise procedure designed to diagnose and relieve pain related to specific spinal nerve roots. This treatment involves injecting a combination of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication directly around the affected nerve root, reducing inflammation and blocking pain signals. 

SNRBs are particularly effective for conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression that radiates pain to the arms or legs. At Southern Pain and Spine, our skilled team utilizes advanced imaging technology to ensure accurate placement and optimal results. 

By targeting the source of your discomfort, we provide significant, localized pain relief, improve your mobility, and help determine long-term treatment options, all while prioritizing your comfort and overall well-being throughout the process.

Medial Branch Block Injection

A medial branch block is a precise injection targeting the medial branch nerves, which carry pain signals from the facet joints in your spine. This procedure involves delivering an anesthetic and sometimes anti-inflammatory medication near these nerves to block pain transmission. It is particularly effective for diagnosing and alleviating pain caused by conditions like arthritis, facet joint syndrome, or injuries affecting spinal joints. 

At Southern Pain and Spine, our expert team uses advanced imaging techniques to ensure accurate needle placement for maximum relief. Medial branch blocks not only reduce pain and improve mobility but can also provide valuable insights into the source of your discomfort. This minimally invasive treatment is a key step toward restoring your comfort and quality of life.

Peripheral Nerve Block Injection

A peripheral nerve block is a specialized procedure aimed at relieving pain by targeting specific peripheral nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. This treatment involves injecting an anesthetic, and sometimes anti-inflammatory medication, near the targeted nerve to block pain signals from reaching the brain. 

Peripheral nerve blocks are effective for managing acute or chronic pain related to conditions such as nerve injuries, surgical recovery, or localized inflammation. At Southern Pain and Spine, our skilled team ensures precise placement using advanced imaging to maximize relief and minimize discomfort. 

This minimally invasive treatment can provide significant, localized pain relief, improve functionality, and reduce the need for systemic pain medications, allowing you to return to daily activities with greater ease and confidence.

Stellate Ganglion Block Injection

A stellate ganglion block is a highly targeted procedure designed to address pain or discomfort in the head, neck, upper chest, or arms. This treatment involves injecting an anesthetic around the stellate ganglion, a cluster of nerves in the neck that regulates sympathetic nerve activity. 

By blocking these nerves, the procedure reduces pain signals and provides relief from conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-related symptoms, or nerve-related pain after injuries. 

At Southern Pain and Spine, we use advanced imaging for precise and safe placement, ensuring each treatment is personalized to your needs. Stellate ganglion blocks can promote improved circulation, reduced pain, and better quality of life, helping you regain comfort and functionality.

Celiac Plexus Block Injection

A Celiac Plexus Block is a specialized procedure designed to relieve abdominal pain, particularly pain associated with conditions like chronic pancreatitis or abdominal cancers. This treatment involves injecting an anesthetic, and in some cases a steroid, around the celiac plexus, a network of nerves located near the abdomen. By blocking pain signals from these nerves, the procedure effectively reduces discomfort and enhances your quality of life. 

At Southern Pain and Spine, our experienced team uses advanced imaging techniques to ensure precise needle placement and optimal results. Celiac plexus blocks are minimally invasive and can provide lasting pain relief, helping you regain daily comfort and function. Our personalized approach ensures each treatment aligns with your unique needs and goals.
