medial branch blocks w/o guidance

Thanks Marvel. Now I have a new issue...one of our Drs is doing spinal medial branch blocks WITHOUT guidance. Should this be billed as a trigger point injection, 20553, or nerve block injections? If nerve blocks should it be coded as 64405 or 64450?
 
CPT includes the following parenthetical note regarding this: "Image guidance and localization are required for the performance of paravertebral facet joint injections described by code 64490-64495. If imaging is not used, report 20552-20553"
