Abdl cutaneous N. BLOCK |
Shoulder joint BLOCK |
cluneal Nerve BLOCK |
This nerve block can be a treatment for focal abdominal wall pain caused by entrapped cutaneous nerves.
|
Shoulder joint injection can be a treatment for arthritic or degenerative pain.
|
Cluneal nerve block can be a treatment for low back pain. All three groups of nerve can be blocked.
|
Femoral nerve bLOCK |
Sciatica Nerve BLOCK |
peroneal Nerve BLOCK |
Femoral nerve is a large nerve and it could be impinged at the inguinal ligament level and causes frontal thigh pain. The femoral nerve could be blocked for pain relief in these cases.
|
Sciatica causes pain in posterior thigh and leg. Sciatica nerve can be blocked at mid-gluteal area for pain relief. Such treatment are particularly effective in piriformis syndrome.
|
This neuralgia causes pain in the lateral lower leg and top of foot. This common peroneal nerve block can be a diagnostic test or a treatment for such pain.
|
Obturator Nerve BLOCKObturator neuralgia causes pain in medial -upper thigh and weakness of hip adductors. The disease can be diagnosed and treated with obturator nerve block.
