Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) works by cauterizing a small gap in the nerves that communicate pain.

RFA can drastically reduce cervical, lumbar, and thoracic pain symptoms.

Along with X-Ray guidance, patients are kept awake during an RFA procedure to provide feedback that allows doctors to get the best results possible. Some of the benefits of RFA include:

A reduction in neck or back pain. This relief is typically long-lasting, with some patients reporting benefits for more than six months.
Fewer pain medications. RFA treatments can help patients and doctors work together to reduce the amount of pain medications needed to reduce pain symptoms.
Improved physical therapy. Since RFA treatment often drastically reduces pain, many patients can experience a greater range of motion. This helps accomplish physical therapy goals and treat underlying causes.

Radiofrequency Ablation

As is the case with almost all procedures, there is slight risk associated. For more information on how RFA injections work at Blue Ridge Pain Management please call us at 828-350-9310.
