A medial branch block is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose or treat pain originating from the facet joints in the spine. During the procedure, a local anesthetic is injected near the medial branch nerves that supply these joints.

This technique can also provide longer-lasting pain relief if combined with radiofrequency ablation, which disrupts the nerve function. #painmanagement #backpa
