Medial Branch Blocks in Florida

A medial branch block places a small amount of local anesthetic near selected medial branch nerves, usually to test whether facet-joint signals may be contributing to pain and inform a later decision such as RFA.

Overview

How Medial Branch Blocks may fit your care

The temporary response can help the care team understand whether the targeted nerves are carrying pain signals from a facet joint. That information may guide a later treatment decision, including whether radiofrequency ablation is worth considering.
