Experiencing persistent back or neck pain? Our Medial Branch Block Injections (MBBs) offer a precise, non-surgical approach to both diagnose and relieve pain at its source. This targeted treatment provides lasting relief and helps restore your quality of life.
Medial branch blocks are a type of injection treatment used for minimally invasive, non-surgical pain relief. It involves injecting a local anesthetic near the medial branch nerves, which transmit pain signals from the facet joints. These nerves send pain signals from the facet joints in your spine to your brain. These pain relief injections help to diagnose the exact source of pain and provide temporary relief for neck or back conditions caused by inflammation or joint dysfunction.
At WaPASS, we specialize in non-surgical, minimally invasive treatments for chronic spine-related pain, including Medial Branch Block (MBB) Injections. This quick, safe, and effective outpatient procedure helps diagnose and manage facet joint pain with minimal downtime.
During the procedure, we precisely inject a local anesthetic—often combined with an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid—near the medial branch nerves. These nerves transmit pain signals from your facet joints to the brain. By temporarily blocking these signals, we can confirm whether your pain originates from the facet joints while providing immediate relief.
The entire process takes just 15–30 minutes, and since it’s an outpatient treatment, you won’t need a hospital stay. Most patients walk out of our clinic the same day with reduced pain and better mobility.
Chronic back or neck pain can greatly impact your daily life. At our Washington Pain and Spine Specialist, Medial Branch Block (MBB) injections offer a safe and effective way to target pain at its source. By pinpointing whether facet joints are causing your discomfort, MBB helps our pain management experts to create a personalized treatment plan and reduce the need for unnecessary medications or procedures.
At WaPASS, we offer MBBs as part of our specialized non-surgical pain relief solutions. Here’s how our MBB treatment helps address a variety of pain conditions:
Our MBB injections provide targeted relief long-lasting neck discomfort, often caused by worn joints, arthritis, or repetitive stress on spinal structures.
Our MBB treatment targets inflamed facet joints to ease pain and restore function.
We diagnose and treat pain from irritated or inflamed facet joints with MBBs. Spinal mobility is frequently impacted by this illness, and our treatment helps you regain your range of motion. If you suffer from chronic pain in the facet joints, you may also benefit from Facet Joint Injections, which offer targeted relief directly at the affected joints.
Wear-and-tear arthritis affects the spine’s facet joints, leading to stiffness, inflammation, and pain.
Age-related degeneration of the spine’s discs and joints, often resulting in chronic back or neck pain.
Neck strain from sudden movement, often due to accidents, that may damage spinal joints and cause lingering pain. At WaPASS, we diagnose and treat whiplash-related nerve pain with Medial Branch Block Injections.
