Transforaminal Diagnostic and Therapeutic Selective Nerve Root Block Injection
Transformational Diagnostic and Therapeutic Selective Nerve Root Block at Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists
If you’re experiencing persistent pain in your neck, back, or limbs due to nerve root irritation, a Transformational Diagnostic and Therapeutic Selective Nerve Root Block (TNSR) may be an effective solution. This minimally invasive procedure is designed to both diagnose and relieve pain caused by nerve root compression or inflammation.
Conditions Treated with TNSR Block
This procedure is particularly effective for patients suffering from:
- Herniated Discs: Discs that bulge or rupture can press on nearby nerve roots, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness.
- Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can compress nerve roots, causing discomfort and other symptoms.
- Radiculopathy: Pain that radiates along the nerve path, often caused by nerve root compression.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Breakdown of spinal discs that may result in nerve irritation and pain.
- Post-Surgical Pain: Persistent pain following spinal surgery, often due to nerve inflammation or scar tissue.
Benefits of Transformational Nerve Root Block
Targeted Pain Relief: This procedure delivers medication directly to the affected nerve root, providing more effective pain relief than systemic medications.
Dual Purpose: It serves both as a diagnostic tool to pinpoint the source of pain and as a therapeutic treatment to alleviate discomfort.
Minimally Invasive: The TNSR block is a nonsurgical procedure with a low risk of complications and a short recovery time.
Potential to Avoid Surgery: For many patients, this procedure can relieve pain and improve function, potentially avoiding the need for more invasive surgical interventions.
