This covers treating an additional level of the spine, beyond the first, using heat generated by a needle-based device to disable small nerves that carry pain signals from the joints connecting the spine's vertebrae. It is used to provide longer-lasting relief for back pain coming from those joints, and is billed together with the treatment at the first spinal level.
