Cervical Radiofrequency

After experiencing a positive result with a cervical medial branch block, you may be offered a cervical radiofrequency.
Just like the medial branch block, this office-based procedure targets the medial branch nerves sending pain signals to your brain from the facet joint.

However, unlike the medial branch block, instead of local anesthetic, this procedure uses radiofrequency energy, similar to that of an MRI machine. The difference here is this energy can ablate the medial nerve, stopping the pain signals from reaching your brain for up to six months.
