Procedure To Release Scar Tissue Around Spinal Nerves

California rates for HCPCS 62264

This procedure treats pain caused by scar tissue or adhesions that have formed around the nerves inside the spinal canal, often after previous back surgery or injury. Using imaging guidance, a thin instrument is placed into the area and a solution is used to help break up the adhesions and free the affected nerve. It is a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery for this kind of nerve-related back pain.
