What Is a Nerve Block—and How Does It Relieve Pain? 👀 ❌

A nerve block is a minimally invasive procedure that interrupts pain signals by targeting specific nerves in the spine. At Spine Associates, our interventional pain specialists use precise injections of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication to reduce inflammation and provide lasting relief.

Nerve blocks not only help manage chronic pain but also assist in diagnosing the exact source—often helping patients avoid more invasive treatments.

✔ Herniated Discs
✔ Spinal Stenosis

Get pain relief with epidural steroid injections ✅ 💪

Epidural steroid injections are frequently utilized to alleviate pain resulting from irritated spinal nerves. Conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica can cause inflammation and swelling around nerve roots, leading to radiating pain that extends into the arms or legs.

By administering anti-inflammatory medication directly into the epidural space of the spine, these injections help decrease swelling, soothe irritated nerves, and relieve pain that has not responded to oral medications or physical therapy. Following treatment, patients often experience enhanced mobility and a greater ability to engage in daily activities comfortably. Although epidural steroid injections do not resolve structural issues within the spine, they serve as a vital non-surgical alternative that assists in symptom management, thereby making rehabilitation and long-term recovery more successful. 🌟

What is ProDisc-L Lumbar Disc Replacement Surgery? 🏥

ProDisc-L Lumbar disc replacement surgery is a minimally invasive technique designed to replace a damaged or degenerated disc in the lower spine with an artificial one.

Unlike spinal fusion, this innovative procedure preserves the natural movement of the spine, allowing for enhanced flexibility and mobility.

It's a fantastic choice for those suffering from conditions like degenerative disc disease or herniated discs who haven't found relief through non-surgical options. 🌟
