Radiofrequency neurotomy isn't a permanent fix for back or neck pain.

Studies on the success of treatment have been conflicting. Some people may have modest, short-term pain relief, while others might feel better for several months. Sometimes, the treatment does not improve pain or function at all.

For the treatment to work and for you to feel better, it's important that the nerves targeted by the procedure are the same nerves responsible for your pain.
