Radiofrequency nerve root rhizotomy procedure to create lesions on medial branch of dorsal facet nerves. The dorsal facet nerves carry impulses from painful facets to the spinal cord. By creating a burned lesion in the nerve this pain pathway can be temporarily broken.

  • I've received three of these treatments and have been near pain free for a good length of time with each single treatment. I'd recommend this to those with chronic back pain associated with the facets. I'll continue to receive these treatments until they no longer work, then I'll face the alternative. Surgery, most likely fusion of my L4,L5,L6(S1 that's not fused to my sacrum naturally).

  • Any doctor who pretends to understand TN... is a quack. It is not curable, there are limited treatments! Regards e... PS RF made me 1000000 times worse BEWARE!!!
