The genicular nerve block (G Block) was developed in the early 2000s as a specialized technique to manage chronic knee pain. A genicular nerve block provides targeted relief for knee pain, particularly for patients who have not responded to conservative treatments like physical therapy or medications. This minimally invasive procedure can effectively treat:
The procedure targets the genicular nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals from the knee joint. It involves injecting an anesthetic near the genicular nerves that transmit pain signals from the knee. By blocking these signals with an anesthetic, the nerve block interrupts the pain pathway, providing significant relief and improving the patient's quality of life.
