Common questions in Pain Medicine
What is a nerve block?
A nerve block is an injection of local anaesthetic and/or steroid near a specific nerve or group of nerves to block pain signals. It provides targeted pain relief and is used for conditions like sciatica, neck pain, and joint pain. The procedure takes 15–30 minutes.
Can chronic pain be cured?
Many causes of chronic pain can be effectively treated or significantly reduced with modern pain management techniques. We use a combination of interventional procedures, medication, and rehabilitation to help patients regain function and quality of life.
