First introduced in the 1940s, the suprascapular nerve block has evolved into a reliable treatment for chronic shoulder pain. Compared to traditional methods, such as oral painkillers or physical therapy, this minimally invasive procedure offers faster and more targeted results with minimal downtime.
The suprascapular nerve block targets the suprascapular nerve, which transmits pain signals from the shoulder. By injecting an anesthetic, the procedure temporarily blocks these signals, providing immediate relief. When combined with corticosteroids, it also reduces inflammation for longer-lasting effects.
