Neck & Head Pain: Who's the Right Doctor for RF-Thermoneurolysis?
Suffering from neck or head pain? You're not alone. Issues with the splenius muscles, located at the back of the neck, can cause discomfort. But who's the right doctor to treat this? Let's explore the options.
The splenius capitis and splenius cervicis muscles work together for neck and head extension and rotation. Damage to these muscles can lead to neck pain, headaches, facial pain, or shoulder pain. Initial treatment may include physical therapy, stretching, ice, heat, oral medications, or injections. However, for severe or prolonged pain, radiofrequency thermoneurolysis (RF-Thermoneurolysis) may be used. This procedure cauterizes nerves to stop pain signals.
Specialists in this procedure include pain therapists, particularly those with a background in anesthesiology and intensive care, and orthopedists. Neurochirurgens may also perform this treatment, especially when dealing with nerve pain in the spinal region.
If you're experiencing persistent neck or head pain, consult a specialist. Look for a pain therapist or orthopedist with experience in intervention pain therapy. In many pain clinics, these procedures are led by anesthesiologists with a specialization in pain therapy. Use search terms like 'schmerztherapie [your city]', 'orthopäde + schmerztherapie', or 'interventionelle schmerztherapie + radiofrequenz' to find the right doctor.
