netcare Linksfield Hospital provides specialized Rhizotomy with a focus on reducing abnormal nerve activity, relieving chronic pain or muscle spasticity, and improving functional comfort.

Rhizotomy is a procedure that intentionally interrupts selected sensory or motor nerve fibers to reduce pain, muscle spasticity, or other abnormal nerve activity. Depending on the condition, it may involve surgical sectioning or controlled destruction of targeted nerve roots. Rhizotomy can be considered for selected patients with conditions such as severe chronic pain, spasticity, or certain nerve-related disorders when other treatments have not provided sufficient relief. The technique depends on the affected nerves and the treatment goal.
