Choosing Jimenez Diaz Foundation University Hospital for Rhizotomy gives patients access to specialist-led nerve procedures, advanced treatment technology, and coordinated postoperative rehabilitation. Established in 1935, the ISO, JCI accredited hospital is located in Madrid, Spain and operates 686 beds with modern neurosurgical and neurological infrastructure.

Rhizotomy may be considered when specific nerve pathways are responsible for disabling pain or excessive muscle activity and other treatments have not provided adequate control. The procedure selectively interrupts targeted nerve fibers while attempting to preserve essential neurological function. Depending on the indication, techniques may include selective dorsal rhizotomy or radiofrequency rhizotomy. Preoperative neurological assessment and, when appropriate, diagnostic nerve testing help determine the nerves to be targeted and the most suitable technique.
