Cancer Pain
Often a group of nerves, called a plexus or ganglion, that causes pain to a specific organ or body region can be blocked with the injection of medication into a specific area of the body. The injection of this nerve-numbing substance is called a nerve block.

A medial branch nerve block is a type of injection used to determine if the facet joint is causing the patient's back pain. Facet joints are pairs of small joints between the vertebrae in the back of the spine.

The portion of the body that registers the sensation of pain is the brain, not the point of injury.
Signals move through the nerves and than spread throughout your body when you feel pain. The brain receives these signals after they travel from the point of injury and through the spinal cord.
Because the brain registers the pain, it can be diminished by preventing pain signals from moving to the brain. You don't feel pain, if the signals never reach the brain.
