At APICO Pain Management™, Dr. Rany Abdallah offers Medial Branch Blocks to diagnose and treat pain originating from the facet joints of the spine—commonly caused by arthritis or injury. This minimally invasive procedure involves injecting a local anesthetic near the medial branch nerves that transmit pain from the affected joints. If pain relief is achieved, it confirms the source and may lead to longer-term solutions like radiofrequency ablation.
Dr. Abdallah uses advanced imaging for precise placement and maximum effectiveness. Medial Branch Blocks provide patients with both immediate relief and valuable insight into their pain, forming a key step in personalized care.
