Services / Cryodénervation
Do you have lumbar or cervical facet syndrome? Are you looking for a permanent solution? Our cryodenervation treatment is for you.
Have you been diagnosed with facet syndrome or facet back pain? You are a candidate for cryodenervation.
Do you have a prescription for a rhizotomy or radiofrequency denervation? You are a candidate for cryodenervation.
Did you receive a facet block with more than 80% improvement in the first hour? You are a candidate for cryodenervation.
Don't meet one of these three criteria?
Ask for a consultation with Dr. Roy MD, FRCSC, today to get a diagnosis.
The procedure is performed with the help of an ultra-efficient radiology device, which provides an optimal view of the treatment area and an extremely precise positioning of the probe.
The doctor makes a very small incision in the skin for the insertion of the probe. The tip of the probe is moved all the way to the nerves that transmit pain from the damaged facets.
Cryodenervation is treatment by cold. An ice ball forms at the end of the probe, where -150oC argon circulates. With this intense cold we obtain the irreversible denervation of the facet. Denervation is permanent, unlike rhizotomy or facet block with cortisone infiltration, which only provide temporary relief.
