Can RFA (Radiofrequency Ablation) be used to treat lower back pain? Yes, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) can be used to treat lower back pain caused by facet joint problems. The procedure involves using a needle electrode to destroy the nerve fibers responsible for transmitting pain signals from the facet joint to the brain. RFA is a minimally invasive procedure that can provide long-lasting relief from lower back pain. It may be recommended for patients who have not found relief from other treatm

Understanding Radiofrequency Ablation in Orthopedics

How to alleviate neck pain? Cervical radiofrequency ablation is used to treat chronic neck pain by targeting the nerves that carry pain signals from the facet joints in the cervical spine. These joints can become irritated due to arthritis, degeneration, or long-term mechanical stress, leading to persistent pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. When this pain continues, it often limits activity and weakens the muscles that support the neck. RFA uses controlled heat to interrupt the pain signals
