Lumbar Sympathetic Block

If you suffer from burning pain, numbness, or poor circulation in your legs and feet, overactive sympathetic nerves may be the cause. A Lumbar Sympathetic Block is a precise procedure used to diagnose and treat pain originating from the sympathetic nervous system in the lower back. Guided by real-time fluoroscopy (live X-ray), a therapeutic blend of local anesthetic and medication is injected near the sympathetic nerve chain along the front of the spine. This targeted treatment temporarily resets misfiring nerves, improves blood flow, reduces swelling, and helps restore comfort to your lower extremities.
