An alternative to medial branch block denervation for lumbosacral facet syndrome
Fluoroscopically guided medial branch nerve injections are often used for diagnostic purposes to determine whether a zygapophyseal (Z) joint in question is responsible for a patient’s low back pain. An alternative to medial branch block denervation for lumbosacral facet syndrome may be laser denervation to the dorsal surface of the facet capsule.
