Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Block in Malaysia – Dr. Sashi, SD Clinic, KPJ Kajang

Nerve-related back pain such as sciatica or neuropathy can be difficult to manage with medications alone. At SD Clinic, KPJ Kajang, Malaysia, Dr. Sashi provides Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Block, a targeted injection treatment that relieves pain by blocking nerve signals at the root.

What is a DRG Block?

The Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) is a cluster of nerve cells that transmit pain signals from the spine to the brain. A DRG Block involves injecting a combination of local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication near the affected nerve root to reduce pain and inflammation.

This procedure is both diagnostic (to confirm the source of pain) and therapeutic (to provide lasting relief).

Conditions Treated with DRG Block

Sciatica (leg pain due to nerve compression)
Radiculopathy (pinched nerve pain)
Neuropathic pain (burning, tingling sensations)
Chronic lower back pain
Post-surgical nerve pain
