In this service page, we'll explore what radiofrequency ablation is, how it works, and why it may be the right choice for you.
Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radio waves to target and reduce or eliminate pain. The procedure is typically performed on patients who are experiencing chronic pain and have not responded to other forms of treatment, such as medication or physical therapy.
During a radiofrequency ablation procedure, a thin needle is inserted into the area causing the pain and used to heat the nerve fibers responsible for transmitting pain signals to the brain. The heat destroys the nerve fibers, effectively blocking the transmission of pain signals and reducing or eliminating pain.
Radiofrequency ablation is performed using a thin needle that is inserted into the affected area. Once the needle is in place, radio waves are used to heat the nerve fibers responsible for transmitting pain signals to the brain.
The heat generated by the radio waves destroys the nerve fibers, effectively blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain and reducing or eliminating pain. The procedure typically takes between 30 minutes and an hour and is performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
