Treatment Option

Medicine trials for 2-6 weeks (if not taken) Guarded exercise or physiotherapy If no benefit with above 2 method than interventions are as follows

A. Facet Joint block / Neurolysis :
It is done under live Fluoroscope ( live X-ray ) guidance after anesthetizing skin only. Gives immediate nearly 50 % relief as it relieves muscle spasm & inflammation around joint of spine. Majority of patient have good pain relief in 15 days

B. Radio Frequency Procedures :
If at all there is recurrence of pain after some time , Radio Frequency ablation is useful to ablate pain signals from nerves of facet joint. Insulated Radio Frequency needle are placed along the nerve to stimulate them using live X-ray. Once the desired pain area is confirmed, radio frequency current is passed through the needle to block the pain signals without affecting sensation of nerves

After anaesthetizing skin only needle is placed in this joint with help of Live X-ray. Dye is injected to confirm the needle position & medication delivered to reduce inflammation & muscle spasm.

Commonly done for back pain, which is more with sitting, caused by mild slipped disc / disc bulge. Needle are placed with the help of live X-ray images projected on screen.
