How it works
How many trips it usually takes.
-
01
Visit one: about an hour
History, examination and imaging review. Neck pain, arm pain and headache can share a source, so the first visit is about separating them.
-
02
One or two diagnostic blocks
Short visits, a few minutes each. They confirm whether the small joints of the neck are carrying the pain before any longer-lasting treatment is aimed at them.
-
03
The procedure
Radiofrequency ablation or an epidural injection, in this office, home the same day.
-
04
Follow-up
A short visit to judge the result.
