DISC DENERVATION

Published on: 13/04/2020

Disc pain is one of the most common forms of back pain across the world. Disc Denervation is a pain procedure used to treat chronic disc related pain. Pain occurs when discs compress or irritate local spinal nerves. Disc denervation, in a sense, deactivates the irritate nerves and blocks the affected nerves from sending anymore messages of pain. This is accomplished when the messages are heated and destroyed with radiofrequency. The heat generated from the radiofrequency modifies certain nerve fibers and blocks the perception of pain that is received by the brain.
