Procedure

Shoulder Injection and Rhizotomy

A layered approach to shoulder pain that pairs targeted injections with suprascapular nerve ablation for durable, non-surgical relief.

Shoulder Injection and Rhizotomy at Axis Pain Group - image-guided interventional pain procedure

Overview

Shoulder injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly into the joint or surrounding soft tissue to calm inflammation from arthritis, bursitis, or rotator cuff disease. Image guidance ensures precise placement.

When relief is helpful but temporary, suprascapular rhizotomy is an option. Using radiofrequency energy, the procedure targets the suprascapular nerve — a major carrier of shoulder pain signals — to extend pain relief and improve daily function without surgery.

Conditions Treated

What to Expect

Injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to shoulder tissues. For longer-lasting relief, suprascapular rhizotomy uses radiofrequency energy to target the nerve transmitting shoulder pain — improving daily function without surgery.
