Edison, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/23/2016 -- At the Freeman Spine and Pain Institute, a team of pain management specialists serving areas like Clifton and the rest of NJ, patients are a priority. Patients who come to the team at the Freeman Spine and Pain Institute are in the hands of experts who take care to correctly assess and diagnose the source of pain, then create a customized treatment plan to effectively relieve symptoms. While the majority of procedures available at the Freeman Spine and Pain Institute are non-surgical, some cases require minimally-invasive surgery, such as endoscopic laser facet rhizotomy.

Endoscopic laser facet rhizotomy is typically used to treat the syndrome known as spondylosis if a regimen of conservative care has proved inadequate or ineffective. Spondylosis refers to any condition in which both spinal pain and spine degeneration are present, regardless of what causes the pain or where degeneration occurs. While the Freeman Spine and Pain Institute takes a conservative approach to pain treatment, in some spondylosis cases they recommend endoscopic laser facet rhizotomy for the most effective relief.

During endoscopic laser facet rhizotomy, a surgeon makes a small incision while the patient is under anesthesia and inserts an endoscope into the incision site. A video camera attached to the endoscope allows the surgeon to see the nerve branches that cause pain. Then, the surgeon uses a laser to deaden the nerve branches, bringing immediate relief to the patient.

Patients who have been treating symptoms of spondylosis pain with conservative care but have found no relief may be eligible for endoscopic laser facet rhizotomy at the Freeman Spine and Pain Institute. Patients seeking spine pain management, whether they live in Clifton, NJ, or the surrounding areas, can conveniently make an appointment online or by calling toll-free at 1-877-710-9324.
