Medial Branch Nerve Blocks in the lumbar spine

Medial branch nerve block is a modern, minimally invasive therapeutic technique aimed at effectively treating chronic pain originating from the facet joints of the lumbar spine.

Technical procedure

The method involves the targeted injection of a local anesthetic, without corticosteroid, to the medial branches of the lumbar spinal nerves that innervate the facet joints. The procedure is performed with high precision, ensuring patient safety and comfort.

Therapeutic goal

• Desensitization of the nerve branches responsible for pain
• Reduction of inflammation in the joint area
• Improvement of spinal mobility
• Restoration of daily functional capacity

Indications

• Chronic cervical pain
• Thoracic or lumbar spine-related pain
• Facet joint syndrome
• Pain not responding to conservative treatment
• Preparing a denervation

Benefits

• Rapid and significant pain relief
• Improvement of function and mobility
• Minimally invasive technique with a high safety profile
