Facet Joint Injection and Medial Branch Block in Brooklyn, NY

Are you experiencing persistent neck or back pain that worsens with movement or prolonged standing? Facet joint pain is a common but often overlooked cause of chronic spinal discomfort. If you’ve been struggling with stiffness, tenderness, or limited mobility, facet joint issues may be to blame.

At our Brooklyn clinic, we specialize in Facet Joint Injections and Medial Branch Blocks, offering precise diagnostic and therapeutic solutions to help you find relief and regain function.

What Are Facet Joint Injections and Medial Branch Blocks?

Facet Joint Injections involve administering anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected joints to reduce swelling and pain. Medial Branch Blocks are diagnostic tools and pain treatments that target the medial branch nerves carrying pain signals from the facet joints to the brain. These blocks help determine whether the facet joints are the true source of your pain.
