What are medial branch blocks?

Medial branch blocks are injections used to block the sensory nerve that innervates the spinal facet joints, which can be a common source of pain.

What happens during the medial branch block procedure?

The patient lies flat on their stomach, receives local anesthesia, and under X-ray guidance, a needle is inserted along the facet joint nerves to inject medication.

How long does the pain relief last after the injection?

Patients may experience numbness or pain relief for a few hours after the injection; however, symptoms may return as the anesthetic wears off.
