What is Radiofrequency Ablation?
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a medical procedure designed to alleviate symptoms of chronic pain using localized heat or voltage. By using high-frequency electromagnetic waves, RFA creates precise lesions on dysfunctional nerves, deactivating pain signals and providing relief. This targeted technique offers numerous advantages over surgical methods, including reduced time in a clinic or hospital and significantly quicker return to daily life. RFA treatment is particularly effective for managing conditions such as facet joint pain, sacroiliac joint pain, and post-surgical spinal pain.
