Treatment Profile
Diagnostic Medial Branch Nerve Blocks
Precise injections that numb the medial branch nerves to confirm the facet joints as the source of your back or neck pain.
Medial branch nerve blocks are diagnostic injections used to determine whether the facet joints are the source of your back or neck pain. The medial branch nerves carry pain signals from the facet joints; by temporarily numbing these nerves, the block confirms the pain generator and helps determine whether radiofrequency ablation will provide longer-term relief.
Goals of Treatment
- Reduce or eliminate chronic pain signals
- Minimize reliance on oral pain medications
- Improve mobility and physical function
- Facilitate participation in physical therapy
