Nerve Block and Ablation in Chandigarh
Expert Pain Management with Nerve Blocks and Ablations by Dr. Rajarshi Bahadur – Your Trusted Specialist in Advanced Minimally Invasive Pain Relief.
What is Nerve Block and Ablation?
Nerve blocks and ablations are minimally invasive procedures used to manage pain. A nerve block involves injecting medication near a nerve to temporarily stop pain signals, providing short-term relief. Ablation, on the other hand, uses heat or radiofrequency energy to disable a nerve’s ability to transmit pain, offering longer-lasting relief. Both procedures help improve mobility and quality of life without the need for major surgery.
How Does Nerve Block and Ablation work?
Nerve blocks and ablations are minimally invasive treatments for pain relief. A nerve block temporarily stops pain signals by injecting medication near a nerve, while nerve ablation uses heat or radiofrequency to disable the nerve for longer-lasting relief. Both procedures are precise, safe, and help improve mobility and quality of life without major surgery.
