Jersey Integrative Health & Wellness offers medial branch nerve blocks as a part of our advanced pain management services. This procedure targets the medial branch nerves, which carry pain signals from the facet joints in the spine to the brain. By temporarily blocking these nerves, the treatment can significantly reduce pain in patients with facet joint syndrome, particularly in those suffering from chronic back pain. Medial branch nerve blocks are used both as a diagnostic tool to confirm the source of pain and as a therapeutic treatment to provide relief.
Our approach to medial branch nerve blocks at Jersey Integrative Health & Wellness is tailored to each patient’s specific needs and pain patterns. The procedure is performed under fluoroscopic guidance, which allows for precise delivery of the anesthetic directly to the affected nerves. This targeted approach helps ensure the effectiveness of the treatment while minimizing potential side effects. Patients choosing this procedure can expect a detailed consultation to evaluate their condition, a carefully executed block procedure, and comprehensive follow-up care. This step-by-step process not only alleviates pain but also aids in planning long-term treatment strategies for sustained pain management.
