RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION (RFA)
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive treatment that reduces chronic pain by targeting nerves that transmit pain signals. Using heat from radio waves, RFA provides long-lasting relief for back, neck, and joint pain with minimal downtime.
What Is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces chronic pain by targeting specific nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals. Using controlled heat from radio waves, it helps block these signals, providing long-lasting relief for back, neck, and joint pain with minimal downtime.
How Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Works
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) uses controlled heat from radio waves to gently interrupt pain signals from targeted nerves—reducing chronic pain, improving mobility, and helping patients return to daily activities without surgery or long-term medications. At AHBA, we tailor each RFA treatment to the patient’s unique condition, ensuring precise targeting and maximum relief. This minimally invasive procedure is performed safely in a clinical setting, offering long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
What to Expect During Radiofrequency Ablation
During RFA, a small needle is guided to the targeted nerve using imaging for precision. Once in place, controlled heat is applied to interrupt pain signals. The procedure is minimally invasive, typically performed in an outpatient setting, and takes less than an hour. Most patients experience little discomfort during treatment and can return to normal activities shortly after, with gradual pain relief occurring over the following weeks.
Benefits of Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the nerves responsible for pain, providing long-lasting relief, reducing reliance on medications, and improving mobility and daily function without the need for surgery
Target the source of nerve pain.
Perineural injection therapy helps reduce nerve inflammation, restore function, and promote natural healing by delivering treatment directly around affected nerves.
