If you're living with chronic pain, you know how exhausting it can be—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. Whether it's constant back discomfort, nerve pain radiating down your leg, or the lingering effects of surgery, pain can make everyday life feel like an uphill battle. Fortunately, there are effective, non-surgical solutions that offer real relief—and nerve block injections are one of them.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we specialize in helping Atlanta-area patients reclaim their lives with minimally invasive treatments like nerve blocks. These targeted injections are designed to interrupt pain signals at their source, offering relief for a wide range of conditions with minimal recovery time.
With more people seeking safe, drug-free alternatives for chronic pain, nerve block injections have become one of the most in-demand solutions in the Atlanta metro area. At Medici, we’re proud to offer this advanced pain management technique at our cutting-edge Marietta and Snellville ambulatory surgery centers, along with full support at our Kennesaw and Buckhead clinics.
Our goal is simple: to restore your quality of life with the most effective, least invasive, and least drug-dependent approach available today.
If chronic pain has been holding you back, you don’t have to wait any longer. Relief is possible—and it may be closer than you think.
Nerve block injections are a minimally invasive, highly targeted treatment used to disrupt pain signals traveling through the nervous system. These injections don’t just mask pain—they interrupt it at the source, providing both short-term relief and valuable diagnostic information to guide your ongoing care.
Pain signals travel through specific nerves to reach your brain. If one of those nerves becomes irritated or inflamed due to injury, arthritis, or other underlying conditions, it can trigger persistent, debilitating pain. A nerve block injection delivers a combination of anesthetic—and sometimes anti-inflammatory medication—near the affected nerve to temporarily disable its ability to transmit pain signals.
The result? Many patients experience immediate and noticeable pain relief, sometimes for hours, days, or even weeks depending on the underlying condition and type of nerve block used.
There are several kinds of nerve blocks used in pain management, and each serves a unique purpose:
When nerves in the lower spine become compressed or irritated, they can send sharp, shooting pain down the legs—a condition known as sciatica. Nerve blocks can reduce inflammation around the nerve roots, relieving the pain that radiates from the lower back to the feet.
Facet joints help stabilize your spine but can become inflamed due to arthritis or injury. Medial branch nerve blocks are often used to diagnose and treat facet-related pain in the neck or lower back.
Peripheral nerves that are pinched or damaged (often in the arms, hands, legs, or feet) can cause tingling, numbness, and burning pain. Nerve blocks can help calm these irritated nerves and reduce symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other entrapment syndromes.
After surgery or physical trauma, some patients develop ongoing nerve pain that doesn’t respond well to medication. Nerve blocks offer a non-opioid alternative to relieve pain and promote healing.
This chronic pain condition often follows injury or surgery and can become debilitating if untreated. Sympathetic nerve blocks are a common intervention used to reduce CRPS symptoms and restore function.
For patients with chronic headaches or migraines, especially those originating from the neck or occipital nerves, nerve blocks can provide rapid relief. These are often used when other treatments have failed to reduce frequency or severity.
From whiplash injuries to degenerative disc disease, many spinal and joint conditions respond well to nerve blocks. They reduce inflammation and give the body time to heal—often in combination with physical therapy or other modalities.
One of the advantages of nerve block injections is how quick and minimally invasive the procedure is—often performed right in our outpatient settings in Marietta or Snellville with little to no recovery time.
Most nerve blocks take 15–30 minutes to complete. You’ll typically be monitored briefly afterward before heading home—no hospital stay required.
Our team will provide detailed post-care instructions and discuss any follow-up treatments if necessary. For many patients, nerve blocks are part of a larger plan that includes physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, or regenerative medicine.
Many patients report noticeable relief within minutes to hours after their injection. This rapid response not only improves quality of life—it also helps confirm whether the targeted nerve is contributing to your symptoms.
If you're trying to manage chronic pain without jumping into surgery, nerve blocks can be a valuable option. In many cases, they reduce the need for invasive procedures, especially when paired with physical therapy or lifestyle changes.
When the source of chronic pain isn’t entirely clear, a diagnostic nerve block can help pinpoint which nerve is causing your discomfort. This information is crucial for tailoring a treatment plan that gets results.
Nerve blocks aren’t a standalone fix—they often work best as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that might include:
The procedure is safe, outpatient-based, and low-risk, especially when performed by trained pain management specialists. There’s no general anesthesia, minimal downtime, and a much lower complication rate than surgery.
Living with chronic pain can feel isolating and endless—but it doesn't have to be. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we believe no one should have to choose between comfort and quality of life. Nerve block injections are just one of the many safe, effective tools we use to help our patients in Atlanta and beyond reclaim their lives with less pain and more confidence.
