Targeted Nerve Treatment for Chronic Neck and Upper-Back Pain in Texas
Chronic neck pain can affect every aspect of daily life, from work and sleep to simple movements like turning your head or lifting your arms. At National Interventional Pain Associates of America (NIPAA), we understand that lasting relief requires addressing the true source of pain, not just its symptoms. One of our advanced non-surgical and minimally invasive solutions is Cervical Neurectomy—a precise endoscopic procedure designed to interrupt pain signals coming from irritated nerves in the cervical spine.
Don’t let neck pain limit your mobility or quality of life. Our interventional pain specialists use state-of-the-art techniques to restore comfort and function safely.

What Is Cervical Neurectomy?
Cervical Neurectomy is a non-surgical, outpatient procedure that targets small sensory nerves in the neck responsible for transmitting pain signals. Using endoscopic guidance and specialized tools, we directly visualize the affected nerves and treat them with precision, stopping pain at its source.
This technique is superior to traditional radiofrequency ablation (RFA) because the nerve is seen and treated directly, allowing for more accurate targeting and longer-lasting results. With its tiny access point and minimal tissue disruption, recovery is typically fast and comfortable.
Who Is a Candidate?
Cervical Neurectomy may be appropriate for individuals who have not found relief from other non-surgical therapies such as medications, physical therapy, or epidural injections. Candidates typically have nerve-related neck pain confirmed by diagnostic testing or imaging.
You may be a candidate if you experience:
- Persistent or radiating neck pain unresponsive to non-surgical treatments
- Pain linked to cervical facet joints, whiplash injury, or nerve irritation from degenerative changes
- Temporary improvement after diagnostic nerve blocks that identify the affected nerve pathway
After a comprehensive evaluation, including imaging and diagnostic injections, your NIPAA care team will determine if Cervical Neurectomy is right for you.
Benefits of Cervical Neurectomy
This procedure offers targeted pain relief and helps patients regain comfort and mobility without major surgery. It is ideal for individuals seeking a long-term solution to nerve-related neck pain.
Key benefits include:
- Direct visualization of nerves: Allows for greater accuracy and longer-lasting relief.
- Superior results compared to RFA: Direct treatment of the nerve typically extends the duration of improvement.
- Minimally invasive and non-surgical: Small access points mean quicker recovery and less discomfort.
- Reduced reliance on medication: Many patients find lasting pain reduction without ongoing medication use.
- Improved range of motion: Relief of nerve pain helps restore comfort and flexibility.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Our goal is to make the process smooth, comfortable, and transparent from start to finish. Before treatment, your physician reviews your medical history and imaging results, answers any questions, and provides detailed preparation instructions.
Here’s what to expect:
- Planning & confirmation: Diagnostic imaging and nerve blocks identify the pain-generating nerve.
- Anesthesia: You’ll receive light sedation or general anesthesia to ensure comfort.
- Endoscopic access: A small incision, typically less than one centimeter, allows the endoscope to reach the targeted area.
- Nerve treatment: The nerve branch is visualized and precisely removed or ablated to stop pain transmission.
- Recovery: After brief monitoring, you’ll return home the same day with post-procedure instructions. Most patients resume light activity within several days.
