Nerve Block Injections
What Are Nerve Block Injections?
CT-guided nerve blocks are targeted injections that help diagnose and treat nerve-related pain. During the procedure, we deliver a local anaesthetic and steroid near the affected spinal nerve to reduce inflammation and block pain signals. These injections are commonly used for conditions such as sciatica, disc herniation, or spinal stenosis, particularly when nerves are irritated or compressed.
Real-Time Accuracy with CT Imaging
At Link Radiology, we use advanced CT imaging to guide the needle directly to the affected nerve. By doing so, we ensure precise targeting while enhancing both the safety and effectiveness of the injection.
Minimally Invasive and Comfortable
The procedure is quick and performed under local anaesthetic. In addition, our team uses gentle techniques and low-dose CT settings to minimise radiation exposure and ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
Effective Relief and Diagnostic Value
Nerve blocks can help confirm the source of your pain and may also offer temporary relief. They’re often used alongside other treatments such as physiotherapy or surgery planning.

FAQ
Nerve Block Injections
What conditions are treated with nerve blocks?
Nerve blocks are commonly recommended for conditions such as sciatica, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, arthritis, and post-surgical nerve pain.
How does a nerve block work?
During the procedure, we inject anaesthetic—and sometimes steroids—near the affected nerve. This approach blocks pain signals and reduces inflammation in the surrounding tissues.
Will it hurt?
Most patients experience only mild pressure or discomfort. In addition, we use local anaesthetic and CT guidance to ensure the procedure is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
How long does the relief last?
The duration of relief can vary. For most patients, it lasts from several days to several months, depending on your condition and how your body responds.
How long is the procedure?
The procedure typically takes around 20–30 minutes, including preparation and a brief period of post-injection observation.
Do I need a referral?
Yes. A GP or specialist referral is required for both the procedure and Medicare eligibility.
Are there risks?
The procedure is very safe when performed under imaging guidance. However, you may experience mild soreness or temporary numbness. Serious complications are rare, and our team will discuss them with you beforehand.
