Neck & Cervical Spine Treatments
Minimally invasive treatments such as facet joint injections and nerve blocks are great solutions to neck and cervical spine pain. These less traumatic alternatives to traditional surgery result in less post-procedure pain and a quicker recovery time, so you can get back to living life to the fullest.
Facet Joint Injection
These injections help your doctor find or treat pain in the facet joints of your neck. Facet joints are found on both sides of your spine. Your vertebrae connect at these joints.
Medial Branch Block
This is an injection of numbing medicine that bathes the medial branch nerves. These nerves are attached to the facet joints of the spine. Disease or injury of these joints can cause pain in the medial branch nerves. This pain may travel through the neck, shoulders, upper back and head. A medial branch block can help your physician find the source of your pain. It may also provide temporary pain relief.
