INTERCOSTAL NERVE BLOCKS

Find Relief from Chest and Rib Pain in Bedford & Benbrook, TX

What is an Intercostal Nerve Block?

An intercostal nerve block is a minimally invasive pain management technique used to treat acute and chronic pain in the chest and rib area. This procedure targets the intercostal nerves, which are located between the ribs and play a crucial role in transmitting pain signals from the chest to the brain.

How Does It Work?

During an intercostal nerve block, a combination of a local anesthetic and a steroid medication is injected near the intercostal nerves. This is typically done under imaging guidance to ensure precision. The local anesthetic provides immediate pain relief by numbing the area, while the steroid reduces inflammation for long-lasting comfort.

Conditions Treated

This treatment is particularly effective for those suffering from:

• Rib fractures
• Post-herpetic neuralgia (shingles)
• Post-operative thoracic pain
• Chronic pain conditions affecting the chest and ribs
