BLOCK INJECTIONS AND PUNCTURES – targeted therapy for painful conditions
Block injections and punctures are minimally invasive medical procedures performed by specialists in physical medicine and orthopedics. Their goal is to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and support the diagnosis of specific musculoskeletal conditions.
What is a block injection?
A block is an injection therapy in which medications—typically a combination of a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid—are administered directly to the painful area or near a nerve, joint, or tendon.
- Neck and back pain (lumbago, cervicobrachialgia, sciatica)
- Joint inflammation and degenerative changes (knee, shoulder, hip osteoarthritis)
- Overuse syndromes (tennis elbow, painful shoulder syndrome)
- Stiffness and limited movement after injury or surgery
- Chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases
This procedure provides rapid relief from pain and inflammation, improving function and allowing a return to daily activities
What is a puncture and when is it used?
A puncture is a medical procedure in which a needle is used to access a joint or bursa to remove excess fluid or reduce pressure.
