Treating pain with a Celiac Plexus Block in Lakeland, Florida

A celiac plexus block is a pain management procedure that temporarily disrupts the nerves of the celiac plexus. These nerves branch away from your spine and connect to the organs in your abdomen. Pain signals caused by conditions such as pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer travel through these nerves to the brain. Some patients experience immediate pain relief following the procedure. Others may require a second procedure if the pain remains or returns.
