Radio Frequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses gentle heat from radio waves to calm overactive nerves and reduce pain at its source. It offers lasting relief for many chronic pain conditions, helping patients move more freely, feel more comfortable, and get back to living life with greater ease.

Treatment Process and Preparation
Radiofrequency ablation uses controlled electrical impulses to disrupt pain signals from targeted nerves, providing long-lasting relief for chronic pain. The procedure is minimally invasive, image-guided, and typically performed in an outpatient setting.
How to Prepare
Before your procedure, review your medications with your provider, as some may need to be paused. Stay hydrated, eat a light meal unless otherwise instructed, and arrange for someone to drive you home if sedation is planned.
What to Expect During the Treatment
During the procedure, a small needle is guided to the targeted nerve using imaging, and radiofrequency energy is applied to reduce its ability to send pain signals. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive.
Recovery Time
Mild soreness at the treatment site for a few days is possible. Patients return to normal routines within a few days. Pain relief often lasts for several months to a year.
