Whats the best way to receive the medical branch block by numbing or going to sleep?

It depends on your overall health and the procedure. If you do not have any cardiopulmonary problem or contraindication, general anesthesia is safe and probably easier for any procedure. You should discuss the pro and con with the anesthesiologist.
