A medial branch nerve block is a type of injection used to determine if the facet joint is causing the patient's back pain.Facet joints are pairs of small joints between the vertebrae in the back of the spine.edial Branch Block Video. Medial branch nerves are small nerves that feed out from the facet joints in the spine, and therefore carry pain signals from those joints. A medial branch nerve block temporarily interrupts the pain signal being carried from a specific facet joint.
The only way to determine if these joints are the cause of your pain is to numb or âblockâ the nerves-called the medial branches- that send pain signals from the joints. If the medial branch block (MBB) eliminates your pain, then the joint is determined to be the cause of your pain. If your pain is not stopped by the block, then causes other than the z-joint may need to be considered. The MBB is a diagnostic test just like a chest x-ray, NOT a treatment.
