At APICO Pain Management™, Dr. Rany Abdallah offers Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks to relieve chronic leg and foot pain caused by conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or peripheral neuropathy. This targeted procedure involves injecting a local anesthetic near the sympathetic nerves in the lower spine to interrupt pain signals and improve blood flow.

Often used diagnostically and therapeutically, the block can provide immediate relief and guide further treatment. Using image-guided precision, Dr. Abdallah ensures safe, accurate delivery tailored to each patient’s needs. Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks at Apico offer a minimally invasive path to relief and improved lower extremity function.
