Sympathetic Nerve Block

Sympathetic Nerve Block

The Clever medical group health care is providing to be an effective method for controlling chronic pain. A Sympathetic nerve block usually involves a sequence of injections to relieve pain caused by complex regional pain syndromes, usually after injury to a joint. This therapy targets the sympathetic nervous system and series of nerves that extend out from your spine to your body to help control several involuntary body functions, or body functions that you have no control over. These include blood flow, digestion, and sweating.

This nerve block can be used to treat pain relating the nerves of the sympathetic nervous system. If you have pain in the higher part of your body then you may get pain relief from blocking the ganglion in your neck area. If you have pain in the lower part of your body then a ganglion near the lower spine may be embattled with a sympathetic nerve block.
