Nerve Block Pain Management Pune
Sancheti Hospital’s nerve block treatments effectively control pain, improve function, and enhance recovery with personalised, expert care.
What is Nerve Blocks?
Nerve blocks are advanced pain management procedures that involve injecting local anesthetic or medication near specific nerves to temporarily block pain signals from reaching the brain. Among the most common are the suprascapular nerve block and the stellate ganglion nerve block, both highly effective in treating chronic pain conditions.
Suprascapular nerve block is often used for patients with chronic shoulder pain, rotator cuff injuries, arthritis, or those recovering from shoulder surgery. It provides significant pain relief and helps restore mobility.
Stellate ganglion nerve block targets the nerves in the neck region, making it beneficial for conditions like complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), facial pain, or circulation issues in the upper limbs.
These minimally invasive procedures are performed under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance at Sancheti Hospital to ensure accuracy and patient safety.
Benefits of Nerve Block Procedures
- Provides rapid and effective pain relief
- Reduces the need for long-term pain medications
- Improves range of motion, particularly after suprascapular nerve block shoulder surgery
- Allows patients to actively participate in physiotherapy
- Minimally invasive, safe, and repeatable if required
Limitations and Disadvantages
- Pain relief may be temporary, requiring repeat procedures
- Mild soreness or discomfort at the injection site
- Rare risks include infection, bleeding, or nerve irritation
- May not work equally well for all patients depending on their condition
