Would a nerve block help to destroy the nerves that cause Cervical Dystonia?

Question

And if this would work then why can they, the Doctor's then, once the offending muscles have been identified from the nerve block then is it possible for them to cure cervical Dystonia or other movement disorders with a permanent nerve block, such as LUNA? I used cervical dystonia as an example so that you could study what I am talking about before you tell me what you think. I want to say thank you for your answers and have a blessed day.

Answer 1

I wouldn't know why anyone would resort to destroying nerves when they can actually restore normal function by going to a chiropractor. Here's an article on CD and chiropractic: http://www.erinelster.com/ConditionsDeta...

Answer 2

I'm not sure that anyone woud wish to destroy nerves, per se, for cervical dystonia when there are options like botox that are effective in the treatment of such conditions.

Contact a specialist, e.g a neurologist, dermatologist, physiatrist for consult to see if you're a candidate for such treatment.

I wish you well.

Answer 3

No, but a Phenol block would help with Cervical Dystonia, but you have to be careful with the dosage.

While otherwise known as "Perineural block", this type with aqueous phenol of concentrations less than 2% will have only local anesthetic properties. It may cause some microvascular damage to the nerve but no significant nerve destruction.

At concentrations more than 3%, phenol denatures protein and causes nerve destruction with axonal degeneration.
