Medial Branch Blocks
A medial branch block can relieve pain primarily in the neck or back, caused by arthritic changes in the facet joints for mechanical low back pain. These blocks consist of injecting medication outside the joint space near the nerve that supplies the joint called the medial branch (steroid may or may not be used). Multiple injections may be required, depending upon how many joints are involved. A block may be therapeutic and/ or diagnostic.
