Lumbar Facet Endoscopic Rhizotomy is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure designed to treat chronic lower back pain caused by facet joint syndrome—a condition frequently resulting from auto accidents, repetitive stress, or workplace injuries. This innovative treatment targets the medial branch nerves that transmit pain signals from the affected facet joints in the lower spine.
At Allied Neurology and Interventional Pain Practice, Dr. Dariusz Nasiek, MD, performs this procedure using a tiny endoscope and real-time imaging, allowing for direct visualization and precise ablation of the pain-generating nerves. Unlike traditional surgery, this technique preserves surrounding tissues, offers shorter recovery times, and provides long-lasting relief without the need for spinal fusion or heavy medications.
Lumbar facet endoscopic rhizotomy is especially beneficial for patients who have not responded to physical therapy, injections, or medications, and who suffer from persistent pain when standing, walking, or bending. Dr. Nasiek’s team also provides comprehensive documentation to support workers’ compensation claims and personal injury litigation, ensuring medical and legal needs are met.
If you’re experiencing unresolved lower back pain after an accident or injury, this procedure may be the breakthrough you need to restore mobility and avoid further disability.
