A nerve block involves injecting medication — typically a local anaesthetic or anti-inflammatory agent — around a targeted nerve in order to temporarily interrupt pain signals travelling to the brain.

The physician selects the injection site based on the location of the problem — for example, a Genicular Nerve Block or a Cervical Medial Branch Block.
Nerve block injections are far more than just temporary pain relief — they are a key tool that helps patients return to a better quality of life, while also enabling physicians to accurately diagnose the source of chronic pain.
