Precisely targeted injections that interrupt pain signals at their source — providing fast, effective relief for acute and chronic pain.
Nerve blocks are specialized, image-guided procedures where a small amount of anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medication is injected near specific nerves to stop pain signals from reaching the brain.
Using ultrasound or fluoroscopy (C-Arm X-ray), Dr. Babak ensures millimeter-level accuracy to safely target the affected nerve, reducing pain while helping diagnose its exact origin.
Nerve blocks can be used for short-term relief, diagnostic purposes, or as preparation for more long-lasting treatments like radiofrequency ablation or neuromodulation.
Nerve blocks are typically recommended for:
caused by irritated spinal nerves
(shooting pain down the leg)
following injury or surgery
involving abdominal, pelvic, or nerve plexus regions
that has not improved with medication
Accurate, image-guided procedure for maximum safety
Immediate and significant pain reduction in many cases
Helps pinpoint the source of pain for targeted therapy
Can improve mobility and quality of life
Often performed as an outpatient procedure with minimal downtime
May reduce or eliminate the need for systemic pain medication
Performed under local anesthesia using ultrasound or C-Arm guidance; typically completed within 15–30 minutes.
If successful, longer-term options such as Radiofrequency Ablation or Spinal Cord Stimulation may be recommended.
Dr. Babak reviews your medical history and scans to determine the best target nerve.
You may feel temporary numbness followed by pain relief; normal activities can resume within 24 hours.
If pain is limiting your daily life, a precise, ultrasound- or X-ray-guided nerve block can help identify and relieve the true source of discomfort. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Babak today to explore safe, advanced options for lasting pain control.
