A medial branch block is a diagnostic procedure used to determine whether the facet joints are the source of chronic back or neck pain. Under fluoroscopic guidance, a clinician injects a small amount of anesthetic near the medial branch nerves, which carry pain signals from the joints. If pain relief is significant, it confirms that those nerves are contributing to the symptoms — often leading to the next step, such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Quick, precise, and essential for targeting th

What happens during a pain management procedure, like administering a medial branch block injection? Our animation unveils the mystery by showcasing how a local anesthetic temporarily numbs the painful nerves by being injected near the medial branches of the spinal nerves supplying the facet joints. Whether the pain is in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine, our demonstrative exhibit details every region of the spine to reveal where the injection was administered. Adding this animation to yo

A medial branch block is a procedure used to diagnose or treat pain coming from the facet joints in the spine. It involves injecting a local anesthetic near the medial branch nerves, which carry pain signals from the facet joints to the brain. If the injection provides relief, it helps determine whether these nerves are the source of the pain and guide future treatment options. #painmanagement #backpain | Precision Care Medical & Sports Performance
