Medial branch nerves play a crucial role in providing sensation to the facet joints in the spine. These nerves act as messengers, carrying pain signals from the facet joint to the spinal cord. However, when inflammation occurs in the facet joints, these nerves can become irritated, leading to persistent back or neck pain. Since facet joints are present between all vertebrae in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, each joint has medial branch nerves.

Diagnosing the cause of medial branch nerve pain can be complex, as various factors may contribute to pain in the same areas. However, our Medial Branch Nerve Block Injections offer an effective solution. Using precise Fluoroscopy imaging, our Board Certified Physicians administer a local anesthetic and a long-lasting steroid into the affected facet joints. This targeted approach significantly reduces pain, inflammation, swelling, and irritation in the area over the next 2-3 days, providing you with relief and comfort. Some of the benefits of our Medial Branch Nerve Block Injections include a high success rate, a non-surgical approach, a same-day procedure performed in our office, and long-lasting relief.
