Nerve block only uses anesthetics, so the block is short lived. Nerve hydrodissection is a technique that is more meticulous, and we use substances that have the ability to reduce inflammation and may promote actual healing (things like PRP), so the effects can last months to years vs hours
What is the difference in term of mechanism of action? Both will reduce pain or numbness right?

@@DrewTimmermansND would you suggest dextrose for hydrodissection? Usually how many mls and how many percent of the dextrose being used?
we have used a lot of dextrose (5%) for hydrodissection, as it can work really well. PRP just works better, so less treatments required
