Coagulation in the area of the lumbar spine Dear Sir or Madam, Could you tell me if this treatment can relieve pain in the long term, or if risks or side effects could make the pain worse? mfg gb von B.   |  am 2002-12-03 15:26:02  Answer: Coagulation in the area of the lumbar spine Dear Mr or Mrs B., The heat probe treatment of the small joints results mostly in two or three years without complaints. Risks and side effects are extremely rare. In most cases a positive result can only be expected after an exact diagnosis. It requires local injections in the affected nerve with the help of X-ray monitoring. Yours sincerely, Dr. med. S.
