At our West Orange, NJ location, Gerling Spine Care and Research Institute uses medial branch block injections as a precise, image-guided method for both diagnosing and treating chronic spinal pain originating from the facet joints, a critical step in building a treatment plan that actually addresses the source.
When Nothing Has Worked, Getting a Precise Diagnosis Is the Place to Start
When physical therapy, oral medications, and general injections have been tried without lasting benefit, the issue is often not that the treatments were wrong, but that the source of the pain was never precisely confirmed. Medial branch block injections address that gap directly. They provide a targeted, reliable method for determining whether the facet joints are genuinely responsible for a patient's chronic spinal pain and deliver meaningful therapeutic relief when they are. At Gerling Spine Care and Research Institute, medial branch blocks are a cornerstone of how our West Orange team investigates and manages chronic axial spinal pain systematically, scientifically, and with the next treatment step always in view.
