What is radiofrequency ablation?
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), or rhizotomy, reduces or eliminates pain from damaged nerves. It can also help with some kinds of long-lasting or recurring pain.
RFA is non-surgical, and it can be an excellent option if you've tried conservative pain management without enough relief. Your provider uses radiofrequency energy to create controlled heat in the damaged part of the nerve. That stops the nerve from sending pain signals from your spine to your brain.
RFA is often used for pain from the facet joints of the neck and back, and for some types of joint pain. To find out whether it's right for you, call 561-641-0089 to request a consultation.
