What causes shoulder pain?

The most common reasons are rotator cuff tendinitis (inflammation) and impingement syndrome (the rotator cuff gets caught between two bones). 

Other causes of shoulder pain include tear of cartilage/tendon, bursitis, calcification or pinched nerve.

Treatment options include

-ice/heat therapy

-medication

-physiotherapy 

-chiropractic therapy

-injections (Anti-inflammatory/Hyaluronic acid/PRP injections) 

-surgery

Nerve block injections

What are nerve block injections?

They are anti-inflammatory and local anesthetic injections administered around the root of the nerves exiting the spinal canal.

What to expect during the procedure?

It is a quick and simple procedure, carried out in the OT under local anesthesia. We clean and sterilize the affected area and then use the ultrasound to accurately find the affected nerve root. Then the medication is administered and you are ready to go! No down time or any restrictions at all.

Who will benefit from nerve block injections?

Any patient who has persistent neck, upper back or lower back pain, diagnosed with disc bulge/hernia, or significant paresthesia of arms/legs.
