What is a Sympathetic Plexus Block (Lumbar Hypogastric)?

A nerve block of the celiac plexus involves the sympathetic nerves in the middle of the spine that reach the abdomen. A lumbar sympathetic nerve block targets the sympathetic nerves of the lower spine that affect the legs and feet and a hypogastric plexus block targets sympathetic nerves to the pelvis.

Am I a candidate for Sympathetic Plexus Block (Lumbar Hypogastric)?

A lumbar sympathetic block is an injection of a local anesthetic that can help relieve chronic leg and foot pain caused by conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, vascular insufficiency, and shingles. Medications are delivered to the sympathetic nerves – a cluster of nerve cell bodies – along the front side of the spine. The goal is to reduce pain so that you can resume normal activities and physical therapy.
