SCIATIC NERVE BLOCK
Our NJ pain management center has extensive experience administering sciatic nerve blocks - a treatment used to alleviate pain and discomfort associated with sciatica, a condition that causes radiating pain down the back and leg of patients when unnecessary pressure is placed on the sciatic nerve. Sciatica is usually caused by a herniated disc or bone spur in the spine.
WHAT IS A SCIATIC NERVE BLOCK?
When a sciatic nerve block is needed, patients receive an injection of medication directly to the nerve, intended to signal the nerve to "turn off" the pain signal. This is a minimally invasive and safe procedure that blocks the transfer of sensory information to the spinal cord and brain, reducing or eliminating sciatic nerve pain.

WHO CAN GET A SCIATIC NERVE BLOCK?
Sciatica is a very common condition, affecting more than 3 million adults in the United States each year. A sciatic nerve block is used to treat patients suffering from chronic, debilitating pain where often times more conservative methods of treatment have failed to produce pain relief.
