Destruction of a peripheral nerve or branch is a procedure to treat nerve-related pain. It involves using heat, cold, or chemicals to damage or destroy the nerve, thereby blocking pain signals to the brain. This can provide long-term pain relief.

This procedure involves using a needle to remove (aspiration) or introduce (injection) fluid into a large joint like the knee or hip. It can help diagnose conditions, relieve discomfort, or deliver medication directly to the joint.

This procedure involves using imaging guidance to accurately target and destroy nerves in the lower or sacral spinal facet joint. It's done to relieve chronic back pain. The process is safe and usually effective.

This procedure involves the use of imaging technology to guide a needle to the nerves of a single facet joint in the upper or middle spine. The nerves are then treated to alleviate pain and improve mobility.
