Radiofrequency Treatment for Selected Mid-Back Pain
Thoracic radiofrequency neurotomy applies controlled thermal energy near selected medial branch nerves associated with facet joints in the mid back. It is used only when the clinical evaluation supports a specific target.
Diagnostic blocks help assess whether the targeted nerves are likely to be involved before radiofrequency treatment is considered.
Preparation, positioning, recovery, and realistic expectations are reviewed before the procedure.
