Cervical Spine Medial Branch Nerve Neurolysis pain management 3D animations.
You will be lying on your front. Your skin will be cleaned. A small needle will be used to inject some local anesthetic to numb the skin. This may sting for a couple of seconds. The tip of a needle will be placed near the medial branch nerve. Fluoroscopy, an x-ray television, is often used to help guide the needle to the correct location. A heating probe will be advanced down the needle to the nerve. A low heat test may be done to check the position of the probe tip. If the probe is next to the nerve, the test will irritate the nerve, causing your facet joint pain. Some local anesthetic may be injected to reduce the pain of the upcoming main burn. The main burn will damage a section of the nerve so that it cannot transmit pain messages from the facet joint to the brain.
