Frequently Asked Questions

A Nerve Root Block is an image-guided injection of a local anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication around a specific spinal nerve root. It helps diagnose the source of nerve pain and provides relief from symptoms such as radiating arm or leg pain caused by nerve irritation or compression.

A Facet Block is a minimally invasive injection administered into or around the facet joints of the spine to reduce inflammation and relieve pain caused by arthritis, injury, or degeneration of these joints.

The procedures are generally well tolerated and performed using local anaesthesia. Patients may experience mild discomfort during the injection, but the procedure is usually quick, and most people can return home on the same day.

The duration of pain relief varies depending on the patient’s condition and response to treatment. Some patients experience relief for several weeks or months, while others may require additional treatments or rehabilitation as recommended by their spine specialist.
