Selective Nerve Root Blocks

A selective nerve root block is a targeted injection of local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication delivered to a specific spinal nerve root to relieve pain caused by nerve compression or inflammation. It serves both a diagnostic purpose — helping to identify the exact nerve responsible for a patient’s symptoms — and a therapeutic one, providing meaningful pain relief. At Interventional Spine & Surgery Group, our specialists perform selective nerve root blocks to accurately pinpoint pain sources and deliver effective, targeted relief for radicular and nerve-related pain.
