Facet Nerves – Cervical & Lumbar Spine

Pain Relief Through Radiofrequency Treatment of Cervical and Lumbar Facet Joints Pain can be effectively relieved by radiofrequency treatment of the affected facet joints in the cervical (C-spine) and lumbar spine (L-spine). After a successful infiltration, denervation of the facet nerves can be safely performed. The procedure takes approximately one hour, is virtually painless, and does not require hospitalization — patients can go home immediately after treatment. Pain relief can typically be expected to last for several years.
