Are you experiencing persistent back or stomach pain? Particularly pain in your liver, stomach, or pancreas? It may originate from the celiac plexus, a network of nerves located deep within your abdomen.
To help with this pain, we at 5th Avenue Medical Wellness provide Celiac Plexus Block injections in NYC. The procedure is completed in our office, is quick, and doesn’t involve surgery. It helps soothe them by focusing on the nerves that transmit pain signals. This implies that you feel better more quickly.
What Is a Celiac Plexus Block?
A unique injection called a celiac plexus block targets a bundle of nerves in your upper abdomen. Your brain receives pain messages from your organs through these nerves. This block may be helpful if you have persistent stomach or pancreatic pain.
These nerves are numbed by the injection. It prevents the pain signals from reaching your brain. This makes you feel more at ease and provides your body a rest.
Conditions Treated with Celiac Plexus Block
This injection may help if you have:
- Pancreatic cancer pain
- Chronic pancreatitis
- Upper abdominal pain that won’t go away
- Pain from liver or stomach cancer
- Pain that spreads to your back
If regular pain pills aren’t helping, this block might be a good next step.
How Does a Celiac Plexus Block Work?
Pain from your belly travels along nerves to your brain. When these nerves stay overactive, the pain keeps going. A celiac plexus block puts medicine near these nerves to quiet them down.
Once the nerves are numb, they stop sending pain messages. That means less pain for you and more time to rest, eat, and feel better.
What’s Inside the Injection?
The injection may include:
- A local anesthetic to numb the nerves
- A steroid to reduce swelling (in some cases)
- A nerve-calming agent like alcohol or phenol (for longer relief)
We use imaging tools like X-ray or CT scan to guide the needle. This helps make sure the medicine goes exactly where it should.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The whole visit takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
- You lie on your belly or side
- We clean the skin and numb the area
- A thin needle goes near the celiac plexus using imaging
- The medicine is injected slowly
- You rest for a short time, then go home
Some people feel a warm sensation in their belly or back after the injection. This is a good sign that the nerves are responding.
