Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block in Montréal, Ottawa and Gatineau: Specialized Management of Shoulder Pain
Interscalene brachial plexus blocks help manage chronic shoulder and arm pain. Dr. Patrice Langlois provides expert pain care in Montréal, Ottawa and Gatineau.
Chronic shoulder and upper arm pain can severely affect daily function and quality of life. Patients in Montréal, Ottawa, and Gatineau often present with complex pain involving the brachial plexus, cervical spine, or post-surgical changes.
An interscalene brachial plexus block targets the nerves supplying the shoulder and upper limb at the level of the neck. By delivering anesthetic medication precisely between the scalene muscles, this technique can significantly reduce pain transmission.
