Medical Branch Nerve Block
Medial branch nerves are small nerves in the spinal region of your back. These nerves are formed in branch-like systems that communicate pain experienced in the facet joints of your spine. These nerves only communicate pain and control sensations in your back. The medial branch block procedure temporarily stops the nerves from communicating pain signals to the brain from the joints.
Medication Management
As board-certified pain management specialists, our physicians at TIPI Pain Management in Houston understand the important role prescription medication plays for some patients who suffer from chronic pain. At the same time, it’s just as important to know that pain medication alone is not an effective treatment, nor is it intended as a long-term solution
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections are a common type of injection involving injecting steroids into the epidural space, the region through which spinal nerves travel. The procedure is performed with the patient lying down. Intravenous sedation may be administered, and a region of skin and tissue of the neck is numbed with a local anesthetic delivered through a small needle.
