Nerve Blocks Reno, NV

Orofacial pain, which can affect the face, jaw and mouth, is often challenging to manage. Nerve blocks offer a reliable solution by providing targeted pain relief. A nerve block is a procedure where a local anesthetic is injected near specific nerves to block pain signals from traveling to the brain. This technique is especially helpful for patients dealing with chronic orofacial pain and is a safe and effective treatment option.

Benefits of Nerve Blocks

Nerve blocks offer several benefits for managing orofacial pain, including:

  • Immediate pain relief: Patients often experience fast results, providing relief from persistent pain.
  • Targeted treatment: The procedure focuses on specific areas of discomfort, reducing the likelihood of affecting other parts of the body.
  • Minimally invasive: Nerve blocks are a less invasive option compared to surgery and do not require a long recovery period.
  • Customizable care: Dr. Faiek can adjust the dosage and frequency of nerve blocks to meet your unique pain management needs.

Patients experiencing conditions like trigeminal neuralgia, temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), or post-surgical pain can benefit greatly from nerve blocks. The procedure allows you to regain control over your comfort and quality of life without needing to rely heavily on pain medication.
