A lumbar sympathetic block is an injection of medicine that numbs nerves in the lower back. The procedure helps doctors find and treat low back pain. The medicine in the injection numbs the nerves and reduces inflammation, helping relieve pain. Sympathetic nerves travel along both sides of the spine and are associated with a wide range of automatic functions, including circulation and digestion.
