Hello,
In training we used to only due one sided cervical MBB for the theoretical risk of blocking bilateral phrenic nerves. For bilateral pain, we made patients pick a side. However, I have seen multiple private practice groups do just this. Is this an unreasonable risk? I only use 0.5 cc at each level and would only do 2 bilateral joints. For bilateral axial neck pain it would certainly save many patients multiple visits and copays. It would also make the patient's reported relief much more clear. Thanks.
