Understanding Lumbar Endoscopic Rhizotomy
At Complete Medical Wellness, we specialize in lumbar endoscopic rhizotomy in NJ & NY, offering patients an advanced solution to chronic facet joint pain without the need for traditional open surgery.
Lumbar endoscopic rhizotomy is a highly precise, minimally invasive procedure designed to treat chronic lower back pain caused by facet joint arthritis or dysfunction.
Using an endoscope, surgeons locate the small nerves transmitting pain signals and carefully ablate (deactivate) them to provide lasting relief.

Conditions Treated by Lumbar Endoscopic Rhizotomy
Lumbar endoscopic rhizotomy may be recommended for:
- Chronic lower back pain from facet joint syndrome
- Degenerative arthritis of the lumbar spine
