David Thanks here is what they did

Facet and Sacroiliac Joint (SI) Rhizotomy

Description

Facet and sacroiliac joint conditions can be very painful. If the pain does not subside with chiropractic care, physical therapy, medication and other non-invasive treatments, injections may be considered. Rhizotomy involves placing a cautery probe into the joint. When the tip of the probe is heated, it cauterizes tiny pain fibers in the joint. Depending on the response to these injections, rhizotomy may be considered. Results of the procedure may not be permanent, but generally last much longer than injections. Rhizotomy is the same as a denervation or neurotomy procedure.

Conditions Treated

Rhizotomy is used to treat painful facet joints and sacroiliac joints.
