Therapeutic Nerve Blocks in Bakersfield & Newport Beach

Healthy nerves play a vital role in our daily lives, but certain conditions can turn nerves against you, resulting in chronic or acute pain. In many cases, patients may require therapeutic nerve blocks to reduce the pain caused by certain conditions. At our Paragon Health Group in Newport Beach and Bakersfield, we provide nerve blocks for our patients to help them see drastic symptom improvement that can lead to boosts in their quality of life.

What Are Therapeutic Nerve Blocks?

Therapeutic nerve blocks are a type of treatment that can help diagnose and treat pain or other conditions affecting the nerves. During a treatment session, a local anesthetic is injected near a specific nerve to block it from sending signals to the brain. This can provide important diagnostic information along with crucial therapeutic relief for certain kinds of pain, discomfort, and conditions.

At Paragon Health Group, we offer therapeutic blocks to our patients in both our Bakersfield & Newport Beach locations. Our board-certified physicians specialize in evaluating each patient’s individual condition and determining the best treatment options available.

What Conditions Can Therapeutic Nerve Blocks Help?

Therapeutic nerve blocks can help with several different conditions that affect the nerves. These range from chronic pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia to headaches, neck and back pain, peripheral neuropathy, and even cancer-related pain. The core similarity across these conditions is that they can place additional strain on the nervous system, resulting in chronic or acute pain in the affected areas.

Benefits of Nerve Blocks

One of the major benefits of nerve blocks is that they can deliver drastic relief to patients without requiring surgery. This makes them an excellent option for those looking for a non-invasive way to reduce their pain. Additionally, therapeutic nerve blocks can help with diagnosing certain conditions by blocking off the affected area and determining whether or not it’s causing any symptoms.

Every nerve block treatment at Paragon Health Group is performed by a medical expert, ensuring a safe and reliable treatment methodology. When you visit Paragon Health Group, we take every step to live up to our name, providing treatments like nerve blocks that make a powerfully positive difference in our patients’ lives.

Signs Therapeutic Nerve Blocks Are Right for You

If you have been experiencing pain, discomfort, or other conditions that might be related to nerves, you may be ready to benefit from a therapeutic nerve block. Still, the first important step is to speak and consult with a specialist at Paragon Health Group and obtain their opinion on whether this type of treatment is right for you. Other signs of potential benefit include:

You have tried other treatments without success
You are looking for a non-invasive, pill-free way to manage your pain
You are experiencing chronic nerve pain or have been diagnosed with a nerve condition

What Is the Treatment Like?

When you visit a Paragon Health Group location for your therapeutic block appointment, you will be attended by one of our board-certified physicians who specialize in diagnosing and treating neuromuscular injuries and illnesses. The physician will evaluate your individual condition and determine the best type of therapeutic nerve block for treating it. This procedure is usually done with local anesthesia so that you do not feel any discomfort during your session, and it is over in a matter of minutes. However, there may be some follow up if you are having injections to help diagnose the cause of your pain.

Is There a Recovery Period?

After your therapeutic nerve block procedure is complete, you may feel some numbness or bruising in the area. Usually, this will resolve itself within a few days after treatment. You should avoid strenuous activities for a few days following the procedure and check with your doctor about when it is safe to resume normal activities.

What Results Can I Expect?

With a therapeutic nerve block, our patients can expect to experience improved mobility and reduced pain in the affected area, often within the same day as their session. The duration and depth of results can vary significantly from one patient to the next. But a typical effect duration is several weeks to a couple of months per nerve block session. Ultimately, your results will depend on the individual case and treatment plan and the skill of your physician.
