The Purpose of the Procedure
A Closer Look
Cervical Radiofrequency Neurotomy, an important part of our suite of pain management services, uses heat generated by radio waves to selectively target nerves that carry pain signals from the neck. By interrupting these nerves, the procedure can significantly decrease discomfort related to various neck conditions.
Who Can Benefit?
This procedure is primarily recommended for patients suffering from persistent neck pain. However, an individual’s overall health, specific pain type, and their treatment expectations contribute to determining their suitability. Our dedicated pain management doctor will perform a comprehensive evaluation during your consultation.
Cost of Cervical Radiofrequency Neurotomy
The cost of Cervical Radiofrequency Neurotomy varies depending on several factors. We recommend consulting with our team at the Center for Pain & Spine for a personalized cost estimate.
The Process: How Does It Work?
Cervical Radiofrequency Neurotomy begins with a thorough assessment of the patient’s pain points using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools. As an outpatient procedure, it is performed under local anesthesia and a mild sedative to ensure patient comfort. The treatment involves guiding radiofrequency energy to the affected nerves, disrupting the pain signals from the neck.
Potential Risks and Side Effects
Like any medical procedure, Cervical Radiofrequency Neurotomy may present some potential risks and side effects.
