Therapeutic drug blockades
Treatment Medication Blocks – First and Foremost, Effectiveness
Pain is the most common symptom of many diseases — dull, aching, sharp, or stabbing. Countless words can describe it, but nothing compares to the relief of getting rid of pain altogether. Doctors identify pain as a reaction caused by irritation of nerve endings. Unfortunately, these nerve endings are extremely sensitive, so the first step in treatment is always accurate diagnosis.
One effective method for pain relief is therapeutic medication block (TMB). This technique has been used in clinical practice for a relatively short time and differs from other pain management methods. The principle behind this method is simple: delivering medications directly into the affected area. First and foremost, TMB aims to eliminate the root cause of pain — but also effectively removes the unpleasant symptom itself: the pain sensation. It allows doctors to achieve fast results with minimal side effects — which makes this method highly effective.
The Way to TMB
The treatment and rehabilitation programs practiced at the "Berezoviy Gai" Health Resort are based on an individualized approach to each patient’s condition. Pain treatment and prevention through TMB are carried out according to principles of both mandatory and additional diagnostic and therapeutic measures.
Indications and Contraindications
Therapeutic medication blocks are widely used in treating and preventing various conditions. Here are some key indications:
Musculoskeletal disorders:
- Spinal osteochondrosis;
- Intervertebral disc herniation;
- Schmorl's hernias;
- Ankylosing spondylitis (Bechterew's disease);
- Spondylosis;
- Spondyloarthrosis;
- Spondylolisthesis;
- Deforming osteoarthritis.
Nervous system-related disorders:
- Lumbosacral radiculitis (lumbago, sciatica);
- polyneuritis;
- Plexitis;
- Spinal canal stenosis.
Modern vertebrology suggests that patients suffering from acute back pain or leg pain should be treated quickly — otherwise, chronic pain may develop, potentially leading to secondary psychogenic disorders and delaying full recovery. In such cases, TMB serves as a fast and effective solution for musculoskeletal and neurological pain conditions.
Other indications for TMB include:
- Pain relief and treatment at shoulder and cervical levels;
- Cervical pain blockades;
- Treatment of lumbar-sacral and thoracic syndromes;
- Spinal pain treatment;
- Back pain blockade;
- Elimination of intercostal neuralgia and similar pain syndromes.
At the same time, there are certain contraindications to TMB, including:
- Individual sensitivity to administered drugs;
- Severe bradycardia;
- Significant liver dysfunction;
- Arterial hypotension;
- Neurotic or psychopathic reactions;
- Physical impossibility of performing the block due to anatomical anomalies, etc.
Advantages and Effectiveness of TMB
TMB has proven to be highly effective in treating many conditions and has gained deserved popularity thanks to its unique properties. Compared to other methods, it offers several advantages:
- High analgesic effect due to direct delivery of medication to the source of pain;
- Reduced systemic drug load, since medication is delivered directly to the painful focus, entering the bloodstream only minimally;
- Lower risk of unwanted side effects due to localized action before entering general circulation;
- High success rates in pain elimination;
- Reduction of muscle tension, vascular spasms, inflammation, and swelling at the site of pathology.
