Radiofrequency Nerve Treatment For Lower Back Joint Pain

Kentucky rates for HCPCS 64625

This is a pain-management procedure that uses heat generated by an electrical current to disable the small nerves that carry pain signals from the joint connecting the base of the spine to the pelvis. Imaging such as x-ray or CT is used during the procedure to precisely guide a needle-like probe to the correct nerves before applying the heat. It is typically used for pain coming from this joint after other treatments, like an injection, have shown temporary relief.
