Hi there, thanks for your question.

Despite the advances of modern spine surgery we still don't have formidable treatment options for axial neck pain. Axial pain is pain exactly at the area of your spine. Though the pain radiating to arms and shoulders subside, some amount of nexk pain does remain after cervical spin e surgeries. Some times this can be attributed to arthritis of joints at the back of Spine. In such scenarios radio frequency ablation can be used to ablate the small nerve fibers whcih supply these pain causing joints. This has been found to go ve some pain relief in axial neck pain .

Hope this helps.

All the best. Regards.
