These sympathetic nerves are a part of the sympathetic nervous system. The nerves are located on the either side of spine, in the lower back.

In certain conditions, these sympathetic nerves can carry pain information from the peripheral tissues back to the spinal cord. What is the purpose of a lumbar sympathetic block?

- Using a spinal block will involve injecting the local anesthetic directly into the subarachnoid space which holds the cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid transports waste and nutrients and acts as a cushion. You can use a small amount of local anesthetic for a spinal block because it spreads easily in the spinal fluid. It is injected using a small needle which is then removed and takes 5 to 20 minutes to complete this process. The epidural begins differently as the patient has to lie down so the area can be cleaned.
