How RFA Works
1. Consultation
Your journey to pain relief begins with a thorough evaluation by our experienced orthopedic team. We assess your medical history and the source of your pain and determine the right solution for you.
2. Local Anesthesia
Before the procedure, a local anesthetic is administered to ensure your comfort and minimize any discomfort during the process.
3. Procedure
A specialized needle or probe is inserted under fluoroscopic guidance (an advanced use of X-ray tech) to precisely target the problematic nerve. Radiofrequency waves are emitted through the probe to create heat, which affects the nerve's ability to transmit pain signals.
4. Pain Relief
RFA provides significant pain relief, often lasting for several months to a year or more, depending on the individual. Many patients experience dramatic improvement in their quality of life and a reduction in reliance on pain medications.
