A Suprascapular Nerve Block is a specialized procedure designed to diagnose and alleviate pain originating from the suprascapular nerve, which plays a crucial role in shoulder function. This procedure involves the precise injection of a local anesthetic and sometimes a corticosteroid into the nerve, providing relief from pain and promoting improved shoulder mobility.

FaQ
A Suprascapular Nerve Block is a minimally invasive procedure designed to alleviate pain and discomfort in the shoulder and upper back regions. This procedure involves injecting a local anesthetic and potentially a corticosteroid near the suprascapular nerve—a nerve responsible for sensation and muscle control in the shoulder area—to provide relief.
During the procedure, a skilled physician uses fluoroscopic guidance to accurately locate the suprascapular nerve. A combination of a local anesthetic and corticosteroid is then injected near the nerve. This can interrupt pain signals and reduce inflammation, providing both diagnostic insights and therapeutic relief.
Individuals experiencing chronic shoulder pain, particularly in the upper back and shoulder blade area, may be suitable candidates. Conditions such as rotator cuff injuries, shoulder arthritis, and frozen shoulder may benefit from this procedure. Our pain management specialists will evaluate your medical history and condition to determine if this treatment is appropriate for you.
After the Suprascapular Nerve Block, you may experience relief from shoulder pain and improved mobility due to the local anesthetic and corticosteroid. Many patients notice improvement within a short time, although individual responses may vary. Keep in mind that this procedure can serve both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, and its effects can vary in duration.
