Our goal is to help you regain control over your pain and live a fulfilling life.
What is Lumbar Radiofrequency Neurotomy?
Lumbar Radiofrequency Neurotomy, also known as radiofrequency ablation, is a minimally invasive procedure designed to target and alleviate chronic lower back pain. This advanced treatment is particularly effective for patients suffering from pain related to the lumbar facet joints, which are small joints located on the back of the spine that help stabilize the vertebrae.
The procedure involves using heat generated from radiofrequency waves to disable specific nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals from the lumbar facet joints to the brain. By interrupting these signals, Lumbar Radiofrequency Neurotomy can provide significant and long-lasting pain relief, allowing patients to reduce their dependence on pain medications and improve their overall quality of life.
How Does it Work?
The process of Lumbar Radiofrequency Neurotomy is both precise and effective:
Guided by Fluoroscopy: The procedure is performed under the guidance of fluoroscopy, a live X-ray imaging technique. This allows our highly skilled physicians to accurately target the affected nerves with specialized needles.
Targeting the Nerves: Once the needles are precisely positioned near the targeted nerves, radiofrequency energy is applied. This energy generates heat, creating a small lesion on the nerves.
Interrupting Pain Signals: The heat-induced lesion disables the nerves’ ability to transmit pain signals to the brain, effectively “turning off” the pain from the affected lumbar facet joints.
Long-Lasting Relief: The result is significant pain relief that can last from several months to over a year, depending on the individual patient and the extent of the nerve involvement.
