Lumbar spine damage can cause chronic lower back pain. It may also spread to legs causing problems in movement. To provide long-term relief, lumbar nerve ablation may be recommended. Lumbar neurotomy, also known as lumbar radiofrequency ablation is a technique of reducing pain in the affected facet joints of the lumbar spine. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and a thin needle is inserted into the facet joint. Using radiofrequency heat, the pain-sending nerves are destroyed to provide chronic lumbar pain relief.

To provide lower back pain relief, lumbar neurotomy may be recommended. It is a technique of pain relief that uses radiofrequency heat to destroy the pain-sending nerve tissues. Thus, the patient can experience reduced pain in the area. It is one of the most commonly practiced lower back surgery.
This is an outpatient surgery. The patient is given local anesthesia and then a thin injection is injected into the lumbar facet joints. Radiofrequency signals aim to destroy the nerve tissues to stop pain signals from reaching the brain. Patients can expect pain relief in a few days. The pain relief may last for a few months or even longer in some cases.
You may only feel a pinch of pain during the process. This is because the area is already numbed with anesthesia.
People who do not find relief in pain through physiotherapy or medications can be recommended for lumbar facet joint neurotomy. The effects may last for 3 months and even longer in some cases.
