A Selective Nerve Root Block (SNRB) targets a specific spinal nerve that is causing pain to travel into the arm or leg. Under fluoroscopic guidance, medication is delivered precisely around the affected nerve to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
The procedure can also help identify exactly which nerve is responsible for your symptoms when imaging findings are unclear.
Pulsed Radiofrequency Treatment when combined with SNRB offers better relief when compared to either of these alone.
SNRB is commonly used for sciatica, cervical radiculopathy, and lumbar radiculopathy. Recovery is quick, and most patients return home shortly after the procedure.
