FAQs
What Is a Nerve Block Injection?
A nerve block injection is a minimally invasive procedure used to temporarily block pain signals from specific nerves, reducing inflammation and discomfort. The injection consists of an anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication, precisely administered to the targeted nerve or nerve group. This quick, 15-20 minute procedure provides relief lasting from a few days to several weeks, sometimes even up to a month, allowing inflamed nerves time to heal.
Nerve block injections effectively treat both acute and chronic pain in the back, arms, legs, and buttocks. They are also valuable for diagnostic purposes, helping our expert pain specialists pinpoint the source of persistent pain. Additionally, if you are scheduled for spinal surgery, a nerve block may be administered to manage post-surgical pain. Before receiving a nerve block, a consultation with our pain management specialists is necessary. During this consultation, we will evaluate your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and create a customized treatment plan to address your needs.
All our physicians are board-certified experts in pain management and anesthesiology, with extensive clinical experience and advanced training in the latest surgical techniques. Renowned across Indiana for their patient-first approach, our specialists are dedicated to providing comprehensive care. If chronic pain is limiting your daily activities, schedule an appointment today to explore the best treatment options.
Benefits of Injection Therapy
Injection therapy offers several advantages for those experiencing chronic pain:
Targeted pain relief: Delivers medication directly to the affected area, providing more effective relief than oral medications.
Non-surgical approach: Offers an alternative to surgery, reducing associated risks and recovery time.
Enhanced quality of life: Reducing chronic pain can help restore daily function, allowing you to enjoy your favorite activities once again.

FAQs
What Is an Intercostal Nerve Block?
An intercostal nerve block is a minimally invasive injection used to relieve pain in the upper abdomen and chest. Administered just below the rib, this treatment is often used for pain management following rib fractures, chest surgeries, and postherpetic neuralgia.
What Are the Side Effects of a Suprascapular Nerve Block?
Side effects are typically minimal and temporary. However, potential risks include minor nerve damage, bleeding, infection, or, in rare cases, insufficient pain relief from the injection.
Where Is Iliohypogastric Nerve Pain Located?
Iliohypogastric nerve pain typically affects the lower abdomen and upper thigh region. It is often caused by nerve entrapment or injury. An iliohypogastric nerve block can provide temporary relief from this discomfort.
