See a Facet Joint Block
Facet joints are the joints between the vertebrae of the spine and are a common source of pain. When the symptoms of chronic neck and back pain are too much for patients to bear, doctors may recommend a simple procedure called a facet joint block, or nerve block.
Watch this video to learn about nerve block procedures. Nerve blocks work by temporarily numbing a single nerve or a group of nerves in order to control pain. A doctor will inject a small amount of local anesthetic into the affected area, which is then unable to send pain signals to the brain.
If you suffer from chronic pain and would like to know more about how nerve blocks can provide relief, contact Union Anesthesia and Pain Management.
