Peri-neural injections, also known as hydrodissection, are a minimally invasive treatment used to relieve nerve-related pain by separating compressed or entrapped nerves from surrounding tissues using a fluid injection. This technique helps reduce inflammation, improve nerve mobility, and promote healing without the need for surgery.
Nerve entrapment and irritation can lead to persistent pain, numbness, and discomfort. Peri-neural injections work by introducing a solution (often a combination of saline, local anesthetic, or dextrose) around the affected nerve, creating space and reducing pressure. This allows the nerve to move freely and function properly.
Peri-neural injections are commonly used to manage conditions such as:
ASSESSMENT
A detailed history and physical examination are conducted to identify nerve compression or entrapment.
PREPARATION
All peri-neural injections are performed under ultrasound guidance to ensure accuracy and safety.
PERSONAL PLAN
Peri-neural injections are often combined with rehabilitation, mobility exercises, and other pain management strategies to maximize outcomes.
MONITORING
We track patient progress and adjust treatment strategies as needed, ensuring the best possible outcome.
