Is Radio Frequency Procedure Advisable Post MRI Scan Of The Spine?
Hi I just was trying to figure out why my doc wants to do radio frequency procedure. When on my xray from mri shows my L5 OUT OF PLACE BY AT LEAST 1/2 AND THAT IS WHERE MY PAIN GENERATES FROM. From what ive learned the radio frequency procedure only involves the facets whitch are located on the exterior of the back rite?
