I have seen Dr. Lutz over the past 3 years for chronic
low back pain. I had epidurals done elsewhere that didnt work or only helped a short time.
Dr. Lutz did some diagnostic blocks and found that the pain was coming from the facet joints and that epidurals wouldnt help. He did some RF & that takes care of the problem for 18 months or so. I had to have it repeated once, and now it is good. I can do a lot of my old activities.
