What Is Radiofrequency Ablation?
Radiofrequency Ablation uses carefully controlled heat energy to interrupt pain signals from targeted nerves. This minimally invasive procedure offers longer-lasting relief than steroids or anesthetic injections.
Effective For
- Facet joint pain
- Sacroiliac joint pain
- Chronic neck or low back pain
Benefits of RFA
- Relief often lasts 6–18 months
- Minimally invasive
- Reduces the need for long-term medication
- Quick recovery and no incisions
What to Expect
Before RFA, a Medial Branch Block or similar diagnostic injection confirms the correct nerves. Once confirmed, Dr. Miller uses radiofrequency energy to gently neutralize the pain-carrying nerve fibers.
