Medial Branch Blocks
Medial branch blocks are often used to confirm a diagnosis of facet joint pain before proceeding with more permanent treatments, such as radiofrequency ablation.
The procedure involves the use of fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance to ensure precise placement of the needle. By temporarily numbing the medial branches, the block can help your doctor determine if the facet joints are the source of your pain.
