A member asked:

Can facet joint nerve ablation mask potentially serious thoracic spine conditions? does facet joint disease continue to progress even after procedure.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Symptom treatment: Facet ablation does not affect or halt the underlying disease, it simply targets underlying pain. Generally it is not performed without prior imaging to rule out more serious conditions.
