Radiofrequency neurotomy (neuroablation): This minimally invasive procedure involves using heat generated by radio waves to destroy nerves causing pain. This is often used to treat chronic pain in the neck, back, or joints.
Nerve root blocks: This procedure involves injecting a steroid medication into the space around the spinal nerves to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. This is often used to treat sciatica, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis.
Facet joint injections: This procedure involves injecting a steroid medication into the joints of the spine to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. This is often used to treat pain caused by arthritis or injury.
Pulsed radiofrequency for spinal issues: This procedure involves using an electrical current to stimulate the nerves in the spine, which can help to reduce pain caused by conditions such as chronic back pain, sciatica, or neuropathy.
