NERVE BLOCKS<br />

Nerve blocks provide anesthesia to individual or<br />

small bundles of nerves. They can provide<br />

effective pain relief to a specific area of your<br />

body for example arm or leg.<br />

Nerve blocks can be administered by two ways :<br />

A single injection of medications at the site of the pain<br />

– where the operation or surgery is done.<br />

A continuous or repeated injection of medications<br />

using a catheter inserted into the area that requires<br />

anesthesia.<br />

Before the block is done, the doctor may use a nerve<br />

stimulator to locate the right nerve to be blocked.
