Nerve Block Injections

Our Approach

Nerve block injections may be performed to numb pain around a surgical incision. Our doctors use ultrasound to ensure they deliver the numbing medicine to the affected area.

Many patients using this advanced pain management technique report little or no discomfort for two to four days after surgery, when postsurgical pain is typically at its peak

If you’re having joint replacement surgery, a nerve block can reduce your pain as you recover. Less pain may result in:

  • More effective rehabilitation
  • Quicker recovery
  • Shorter hospital stay
