For patients grappling with chronic nerve-related pain, the Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) block offers an advanced, targeted treatment solution. At Apex, we employ this diagnostic and therapeutic technique to pinpoint pain sources and provide relief.

Patients suffering from undiagnosed nerve pain, especially when traditional treatments have failed, stand to gain the most. It's particularly effective for those who've undergone surgeries like spinal fusions but still experience persistent pain or for those dealing with neuropathic pain conditions like CRPS.

The DRG block procedure is typically quick often completed within 30 minutes. Patients lie face down, and the area around the injection site is numbed. The physician uses X-ray guidance to ensure the needle is accurately positioned near the DRG. Once confirmed, the medication is delivered. After the procedure, patients might experience immediate pain relief, though some may require multiple sessions for optimal results.
