What Is Radiofrequency Ablation?

​

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to reduce or eliminate chronic pain by disrupting nerve signals. It works by using heat generated from radiofrequency energy to target and destroy specific nerve fibers that transmit pain signals from affected joints or tissues. The procedure is commonly used for conditions such as chronic back or neck pain, arthritis, and nerve pain in the spine. RFA can provide long-lasting pain relief, often for several months to years, and is typically performed under local anesthesia with imaging guidance to ensure accuracy.

What Conditions Does Radiofrequency Ablation Address?

​
  • Chronic neck or back pain due to facet joint arthritis
  • Pain from spondylosis (spinal degeneration)
  • Pain from sacroiliac joint dysfunction
  • Chronic pain from spinal stenosis
  • Persistent nerve pain (radiculopathy) not responding to conservative treatments
  • Pain from whiplash injuries
  • Failed back surgery syndrome (when facet joint pain persists)
  • Osteoarthritis-related joint pain in the spine
  • Pain from nerve irritation or inflammation near the facet joints
  • Pain management for those seeking longer-term relief without surgery
