An intercostal nerve block is a minimally invasive procedure designed to alleviate pain in the chest and upper abdomen by targeting the intercostal nerves, which run along the bottom of each rib. This procedure involves injecting a local anesthetic, and sometimes a steroid, near the intercostal nerves to block pain signals.
Pain resulting from broken or cracked ribs.

Patients who have not responded to conservative treatments such as physical therapy, oral medications, or lifestyle changes may benefit from an intercostal nerve block. It is particularly useful for those with acute or chronic chest pain affecting their quality of life.
Intercostal nerve blocks offer a targeted and effective approach to managing pain in the chest and upper abdominal regions. By blocking pain signals at their source, this procedure can significantly improve quality of life and functionality.
