Chronic low-back pain can make even simple daily activities feel impossible. At National Interventional Pain Associates of America (NIPAA), we specialize in identifying the true source of your pain and offering advanced, non-surgical, minimally invasive options. One of our most effective procedures for nerve-related back pain is Endoscopic Lumbar Neurectomy—a targeted technique that interrupts pain signals traveling from damaged or irritated spinal nerves.

Don’t let back pain control your life any longer. Our interventional pain specialists are here to help you find lasting relief through the most advanced, minimally invasive techniques available.

What Is Endoscopic Lumbar Neurectomy?

Endoscopic Lumbar Neurectomy is a non-surgical, outpatient procedure that relieves chronic back pain caused by irritated sensory nerves in the lower spine. During the procedure, your NIPAA specialist uses a small camera and precision instruments to locate and remove or ablate the affected nerves, preventing them from sending pain signals to the brain.

This approach is superior to traditional radiofrequency ablation (RFA) because the nerve is directly visualized, allowing for greater accuracy and often longer-lasting results. Since the technique uses only a small access site and causes minimal tissue disruption, recovery is typically faster and more comfortable than with more invasive procedures.

Who Is a Candidate?

Not every case of back pain requires surgery. However, for patients who have exhausted other non-surgical treatments and still struggle with nerve-related discomfort, Endoscopic Lumbar Neurectomy may provide meaningful, lasting relief.

You may be a candidate if you experience:

  • Persistent lower-back pain that has not responded to medications, physical therapy, or injections
  • Pain linked to facet-joint nerve irritation or similar lumbar nerve conditions
  • Temporary relief after diagnostic nerve blocks confirming the pain source

After a comprehensive evaluation, including imaging and diagnostic injections, our team determines whether Endoscopic Lumbar Neurectomy is the most appropriate option for your condition.

Benefits of Endoscopic Lumbar Neurectomy

This procedure offers precise pain relief with minimal downtime, making it an appealing alternative to open spinal surgery. Patients often notice improved mobility and a significant decrease in pain within weeks.

Key advantages include:

  • Direct nerve visualization: Allows our specialists to precisely target the problem area for more accurate, lasting relief.
  • Superior results compared to RFA: Many patients experience a longer duration of pain reduction.
  • Non-surgical and minimally invasive: Small access points mean less tissue disruption and faster recovery.
  • Reduced medication dependence: Many patients find they need fewer pain medications or injections.
  • Improved mobility: With nerve pain reduced, daily activities become easier and more comfortable.
  • Outpatient convenience: Most patients return home the same day.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Our goal is to make the process clear and comfortable from start to finish. Before the procedure, you’ll meet with your physician to discuss preparation guidelines and review any necessary lab work or imaging studies.

Here’s what typically happens:

  1. Consultation & planning: Your provider reviews your history, imaging, and diagnostic tests to confirm the target nerve.
  2. Anesthesia & positioning: You’ll receive light sedation or general anesthesia for comfort.
  3. Endoscopic access: A small incision, about one centimeter, is made to insert the endoscope.
  4. Nerve treatment: The affected nerve is located and either removed or ablated to stop pain transmission.
  5. Recovery: The incision is closed, and you’ll be monitored before going home the same day. Most patients resume light activity within a few days.
