Rhizotomy Procedure

Has anyone had a Rhizotomy procedure? I am considering this as my neurosurgeon thinks my headaches may be caused by Osteoporosis in my neck. I’d love to know whether this has been successful. I believe I have classic migraine as well as Occipital Neuralgia caused by my neck

  1. Good morning ! I don't personally know anyone who has had a rhizotomy for this - but am quite familiar with cervicogenic headaches (headaches arising from neck problems). For me they appear quite differently to my migraine. Do you get all three you mentioned? That must be so hard! I do know a couple of people who have had a similar procedure in their low back, and it was very effective for them.

    Can your provider put you in touch with any groups where people may have have had the procedure and can talk with you about it? I do hope someone here has had some experience with it so they can share their thoughts. Thank you so much for asking and for being a part of our community! Warmly, Tracy (Team Member)
