A nerve block is when local anesthetic is used to block the sensation of pain from the brain to a part of the body such as a limb or to a much larger portion of the body such as from the waist down. According to Alyssia Howard, MD, an anesthesiologist with West Georgia Anesthesia Associates, nerve blocks can help minimize the use of pain medications and maximize a longer lasting pain control that can enable patients to go home sooner after surgery. Nerve blocks can be used on patients of all ages. Learn more at www.tanner.org/surgical-services/what-we-offer/anesthesia. #SurgeryAtTanner #TannerHealthSystem
