2024年10月7日 · Radiofrequency ablation (or RFA) is a procedure that can ease chronic pain for some people. The procedure uses radio waves that produce electrical currents. These...

2023年12月11日 · Thermal radiofrequency ablation (thermal RFA) generates heat to create localized coagulative necrosis (cell death) in the target tissue. It involves the application of radiofrequency energy to heat the target tissue at a temperature of up to 80 degrees Celsius.

2024年4月1日 · Advanced Spine and Pain offers innovative, noninvasive radiofrequency ablation treatment for neck pain. We use a fine needle and carefully guide it to the correct placement, where it delivers a current that heats a nerve and creates a lesion, effectively shocking the nerve and rendering it unable to send pain signals to your brain.

Cervical radiofrequency ablation is a carefully orchestrated medical procedure aimed at providing relief from chronic neck pain associated with facet joint issues. This minimally invasive intervention involves several key stages, from preparatory measures to the actual procedure and subsequent post-treatment care.

RFA for neck pain is a highly effective treatment that targets the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals in the neck area, providing long-term relief and improved mobility. This type of RFA targets the nerves in the cervical spine region.

2024年2月6日 · If you suffer from chronic back, neck, or joint pain, your doctor may have recommended a radio frequency ablation .(RFA) Procedure. RFA uses heat generated from radio waves to damage the nerves causing pain. It can provide long-term pain relief for many patients. Here’s what to expect after your radio frequency ablation treatment.

A cervical radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an outpatient procedure for treating neck, shoulder, and upper back pain. It is also called cervical facet thermal coagulation or rhizotomy. What are cervical facet joints? Facet joints connect the vertebrae, the bones of the spine. They help guide your spine when you move.

A cervical RFA, or cervical radiofrequency ablation, is a procedure targeting medial branch nerves in the neck (cervical) area that sends pain signals to the brain. Radiofrequency energy heats and ablates the nerve fibers to prevent pain transmission and relieve chronic neck pain.
