Lumbar Facet Joint RF Ablation in Hyderabad
Minimally Invasive Spine Pain Relief Without Surgery
Struggling with chronic lower back pain that worsens with standing, twisting, or bending? You might be suffering from facet joint arthritis or inflammation. At Sree Sreyas Hospital, we offer Lumbar Facet Joint Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation—a safe, non-surgical treatment that provides long-lasting relief by targeting the nerves causing your back pain.
What is Lumbar Facet Joint RF Ablation?
Lumbar Facet Joint Radiofrequency Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat pain originating from the small joints in your lower back known as facet joints. These joints can become inflamed due to arthritis, injury, or age-related wear and tear.
During the procedure, a specialized needle delivers radiofrequency energy to the medial branch nerves that transmit pain from the facet joints. The heat from the RF current interrupts the pain signals, providing relief that may last from 6 months to 2 years.
