What is Radiofrequency Ablation?
Radiofrequency Ablation, or RFA, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to target and disrupt the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals to your brain. It’s like hitting the “mute” button on your pain, allowing you to experience significant relief and improved quality of life.
How Does it Work?
During the procedure, a thin needle is guided to the affected nerve using imaging technology. Once in place, a small electrical current is passed through the needle, generating heat that disrupts the nerve’s ability to send pain signals. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes only a short time to complete.
Who Can Benefit from RFA?
RFA is particularly effective for treating chronic pain conditions such as:
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Joint pain
- Arthritis pain
- Nerve pain
If you’ve tried other treatments without success, RFA may be the answer you’ve been searching for.
What to Expect After the Procedure
Most patients experience immediate pain relief following RFA, with minimal downtime. You may experience some soreness or discomfort at the injection site, but this typically subsides within a few days. You’ll be able to resume your normal activities shortly after the procedure, although strenuous activity may be restricted for a short period.
