Radiofrequency Treatment for Selected Neck Pain
Cervical radiofrequency neurotomy applies controlled thermal energy near selected medial branch nerves associated with the facet joints of the neck. The goal is to interrupt specific pain signals for a period of time.
It is generally considered only after the evaluation and diagnostic blocks support the targeted nerves as a likely contributor to pain.
The physician discusses positioning, preparation, recovery, and the possibility that nerves can recover over time.
Built on Diagnostic Evidence
The planned levels are based on the symptom pattern, physical examination, imaging, and documented response to diagnostic blocks.
Why It May Be Considered
