Schmerztherapie & Wirbelsäule (Algologie)

RF facet denervation uses radiofrequency energy to create a thermal lesion on the medial branch nerve supplying a painful facet joint. This interrupts pain signal transmission for 6-18 months until nerve regeneration.

Percutaneous disc decompression uses mechanical or radiofrequency energy to reduce intradiscal pressure in contained disc herniations causing radiculopathy. Minimally invasive outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia.

Laser discectomy uses focused laser energy to vaporize a small portion of disc nucleus, reducing intradiscal pressure and relieving nerve root compression. Performed percutaneously under fluoroscopic guidance as a day-case procedure.
