Genicular Nerve Block

A genicular nerve block is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in which local anesthetic is injected around the genicular nerves of the knee to temporarily interrupt pain signals and assess whether these nerves are contributing to a patient’s chronic knee pain. It is frequently used as a precursor to genicular nerve ablation to confirm candidacy for the procedure. At Interventional Spine & Surgery Group, our specialists utilize genicular nerve blocks as a precise tool for both diagnosing the source of knee pain and providing targeted, immediate relief.
