GoczewskiDiagnostic block

Diagnostic blocks are performed to confirm information about the source of a patient’s pain.

During diagnostic block procedure a small amount of local anesthetic is injected into the anatomy structure to confirm whether this structure is the pain generator.  The result is considered positive if the pain gets 80% weaker after an injection.

Indications

We perform diagnostic block when we are not certain which structure should be treated first.

Dr. Marcin Goczewski performs diagnostic block only under ultrasound guidance.
