SELECTIVE NERVE ROOT BLOCK

A selective nerve root block is a diagnostic test performed to determine if a specific spinal nerve is the source of pain. 

Selective Nerve Root Block (SNRB) is practiced as a part of the management of radicular pain due to a particularly affected nerve root in both the Cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back) region radiculopathy (irritation and inflammation of a nerve root).

Selective nerve root block injection (SNRB) is an injection of a long-lasting steroid around the nerve root as it exits the spinal column. The injection reduces the inflammation and pain caused by pressure on the nerve.

One of the most common conditions to benefit from selective nerve root injections is a herniated disc that causes low back and leg pain (sciatica).
