Selective Nerve Root Blocks
If you are experiencing sharp, radiating pain, numbness and weakness in an arm or a leg, a pinched or swollen spinal nerve might be to blame. Dr Parag C Paradkar at DR. Paradkars ORTHO CURE & PAIN RELIEF CLINIC, specializes in Selective Nerve Root Blocks (SNRB). This non-surgical, advanced treatment accurately locates and treats the exact source of your pain.
What does a Selective Nerve Root Block mean?
An SNRB delivers a potent anti-inflammatory agent, typically a steroid, into a selected spine area into a nerve, which can be easily identified as a root. Localisation of one nerve decreases inflammation and pain. The block is curative, meaning that it locates the guilty nerve and is also curative, providing permanent resolution. It is a minimally invasive procedure performed on an outpatient basis.
Why are Selective Nerve Root Blocks Necessary?
SNRBs are required when conservative treatment does not help to alleviate radiating pain, most often from a herniated disc or spinal stenosis. This pain may debilitate your daily living, where you cannot walk, stand, or do everyday chores. Inflamed nerve root symptoms can be treated by delivering anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected region, which provides a targeted therapy that can reduce symptoms and avoid significant surgery.
