Selective root block 

Sciatic and cervical nerve root entrapment can be an extremely painful and debilitating condition.

Selective root block (where nerves are emerging from the spine) is a procedure that targets specific nerves and relieves the pain caused by inflammation. To ensure proper placement of the medication the procedure is done under fluoroscopy or x-ray.

This procedure can bring excellent pain relief to patients suffering from sciatica, including those who had spinal surgery as well as patients with testicular or abdominal pain and some types of pain in the arm or hand
