Back or neck pain that doesn’t go away can be frustrating. The good news is that the disc denervation Scottsdale procedure offers a solution. This safe and simple treatment targets the source of your pain directly, and provides relief without the need for surgery.

What is Disc Denervation in Scottsdale?

Disc denervation relieves pain from damaged discs in your back and neck. These discs sit between the bones in your spine, and when they are damaged, they cause pain. This treatment uses heat to block the pain signals from the nerves and help reduce pain and swelling.

Symptoms of Denervation

  • Pain that gets worse with movement or sitting too long
  • Pain that spreads to your arms or legs
  • Stiffness in your back or neck
  • Feeling better when lying down

How Can Disc Denervation Help Me? What to Expect?

During the procedure, your doctor will use imaging to find the area causing pain. A small needle is placed near the nerves, and heat is applied to stop the pain signals. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, and most people can go home the same day. You might feel some soreness, but you can usually return to normal activities in a few days.
