Peripheral Nerve Blocks
Manage Pain–and Find Out What’s Causing It
Your peripheral nerves carry messages from your body to the brain, including pain signals. A peripheral nerve block uses an injection of pain-relieving medication and corticosteroids to prevent those signals, offering pain relief while also helping the team at Hands of Hope uncover the source of your discomfort. You don’t have to live with persistent pain. Schedule an appointment at our Lincoln Place, Bedford, prospect, and Flatbush clinics to learn more about how we can help.

What Can I Expect from a Peripheral Nerve Block?
Every nerve block is different based on which nerve we’re targeting. Our physicians can provide you with more personalized guidance. Generally speaking, however, a peripheral nerve block involves injecting the affected nerve with a blend of anesthetics and corticosteroids, which help reduce inflammation.
During the procedure, we’ll help you relax in a comfortable position that allows us access to the injection site. We’ll clean the area and insert the needle using ultrasound or X-ray to ensure a precise needling placement. That way, the medication goes directly into the targeted nerve.
Afterward, you should notice a gradual decrease in pain symptoms, making it easier for you to perform daily activities.
