Dr. Tony Mork describes a new endoscopic laser procedure to permanently treat the pain from cervical facet syndrome in a two part video presentation.
This video is Part 1, which talks about the anatomy and purpose of the cervical facet joints, as well as why they can hurt. Part 1 focuses on understanding the anatomy and function of the cervical facets to see why they can hurt. Part 1 sets the stage to
understand your treatment options.
Part 2 looks at your treatment options and why rhizotomy is always a temporary treatment. It will discuss an outpatient endoscopic procedure performed through a 3/8” inch incision that uses German technology, optics and the laser to visualize and remove medial branch nerves and painful facet capsules in the cervical spine that can result in permanent pain relief.

Thank you! I just had a positive nerve block for diagnosis. I had a bad whiplash and brain injury years ago, I don’t have pain in the actual spine but I have referred pain and lots of headaches and dizziness. It all went away with the mbb, however I had major balance problems and I’m a figure skater… mri shows a small disc bulge which got better and mild ddd and mild osteophites but facets appear ok. Any other options aside from nerve ablation?
I think I have facet syndrome, can't look up
Great presentation!!! Very educational
I appreciate your very clear explanations. I’m battling both C3-4 stenosis and facets C3-4-5. So much pain. Thanks for your explanations.
I currently have facet joint syndrome from L3 down to S1. I am currently battling the same in my cervical spine. Your video was an excellent explanation of the syndrome. Keep up the good work.
Can this also be caused by an abnormally weak/thin neck – say for example genetics.
Can you recommend any doctor or organisation in Australia?
Your explanations are very clear. I've been having right headache and neck tension since 2013 especially when I sit down or driving for long period.
This year I did MRI and shown C3 4 disc herniated and dr suggest for pecd/cervical endoscopy.
I'm not sure doing it because my symptoms just like you mentioned for facet syndrome.
Bu now it's getting worse. My neck is stiff. I got both left right head pressure in the back side of my head.
Since the facet syndrome is not easy to determine from MRI, now I'm thinking my pain coming from facet not disc herniated.
Please let me know your opinion.
