@precisioncaremedical: How to relieve chronic back pain ? A medial branch block (MBB) is a diagnostic procedure used to determine whether the facet joints in the spine are contributing to back or neck pain 💉 During the procedure, a small amount of numbing medication is placed near the medial branch nerves that carry pain signals from these joints. If the patient experiences significant temporary relief, it provides important information about the source of the pain. This can help determine whether a longer-lasting treatment, such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), may be an appropriate next step. Finding the correct source of pain is often the first step toward creating a more effective treatment plan 💪 #recovery #health #painmanagement
