Fascia Iliaca Block
Fascia Iliaca Block at Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists
If you’re dealing with hip or thigh pain, particularly after hip surgery or a fracture, a Fascia Iliaca Block may be an effective option for pain relief. This innovative procedure targets the fascia iliaca, a layer of connective tissue that contains nerves supplying sensation to the hip and thigh areas.
Who Can Benefit from a Fascia Iliaca Block?
A Fascia Iliaca Block may be beneficial for patients experiencing:
- Postoperative Pain: Especially after hip replacement surgery or repair of hip fractures.
- Chronic Hip Pain: Conditions like osteoarthritis or bursitis that cause persistent discomfort.
- Thigh Pain: Pain radiating down the thigh, potentially due to nerve irritation.
Benefits of a Fascia Iliaca Block
Effective Pain Relief: The block can significantly reduce pain, allowing for better mobility and comfort during recovery.
Minimally Invasive: This outpatient procedure typically requires no general anesthesia and is performed with minimal downtime.
Reduced Need for Opioids: By managing pain effectively, the block may lessen reliance on opioid medications, promoting a safer recovery process.
