Bulk Billed Peripheral Nerve Injections in Albany Creek
Peripheral Nerve Injections
What Are Peripheral Nerve Injections?
Peripheral nerve injections relieve chronic pain from irritated or inflamed nerves in the arms, legs, pelvis, or torso. Using CT or ultrasound guidance, we inject anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected nerve.
Image-Guided for Accuracy and Comfort
At Link Radiology, we use real-time CT or ultrasound to guide peripheral nerve injections, placing the needle precisely for effective pain relief and minimal risk. The imaging method is chosen based on the nerve’s location.
Quick, Minimally Invasive Pain Relief
The procedure is short and typically requires only a local anaesthetic. Most patients return to normal activities soon after. Injections can be diagnostic (to confirm a nerve is causing pain) or therapeutic (to provide lasting relief).
Effective Pain Relief
Peripheral nerve injections can help manage chronic nerve pain from conditions like neuropathy, nerve entrapment, or injury. They may improve function and quality of life.
