Interventional Pain Therapy with PERCULINE
This gentle treatment is usually performed on an outpatient basis and usually helps to reduce pain quickly. RIWOspine's PERCULINE instruments have been specially developed for interventional pain therapy using precise 4 MHz radiofrequency application.
PERCULINE comprises four different instrument systems for percutaneous or endoscopically controlled denervation of facet and sacroiliac joints or for nucleoplasty of the lumbar spine.

Treatment procedure
RIWOspine's PERCULINE instruments for interventional pain therapy have been specially developed for precise 4MHz radiofrequency application.
Thermal denervation of the vertebral or sacroiliac joints interrupts the transmission of pain signals from the site of origin, i.e. the vertebral joints, to the brain by heating the pain fibres. In this way, the local discomfort can be significantly reduced.
The procedure can easily be performed on an outpatient basis.

Denervation of the sacroiliac joint
The sacroiliac joint is often a generator of back pain. Sacroiliac joint syndrome often occurs after stabilisation of the spine because it is subjected to greater stress after surgery. This in turn leads to mechanical and inflammatory irritation of the nerves at this joint.
Further transmission of pain is possible along the dorsal ramus of the spinal nerve. These can be thermally eliminated at the point where the nerves leave the sacrum.
