wat is a nerve block

[Dr Santos]

Hi,
A nerve block interrupts pain signals sent to the brain through injecting a substance into or around a nerve or into the spine. They may be indicated to determine the source of pain, to treat painful conditions, to predict how pain will respond to long-term treatments, for short-term pain relief after some surgeries and other procedures and for anesthesia during some smaller procedures. Hope this helps. Take care and best regards.
