Website: www.gspmweb.com Nerve injury of the spine can occur irrespective of other conditions. People think of disk herniations pressing on nerves, which is common. However, nerves, in and of themselves, can be the area of the primary injury. This can be due to trauma, spinal degeneration, or past surgery. This treatment is called Pulsed Nerve Root Radiofrequency. It "stuns" but does not damage the nerve, helping to decrease impulses from the nerve to the brain, thereby reducing pain. This is an excellent treatment for patients with arm pain or leg pain who with conditions that cannot be treated with surgery, who already has surgery, or who wish to avoid surgery.
