Radiofrequency Ablation

The facet joints are often the underlying source of chronic neck and lower back pain. When steroid injections within the joints are ineffective long term or the patient has a steroid contraindication, RFA could be the solution.
This safe fluoroscopic (X-ray guided) procedure is performed in SpineGroup Alabama’s office procedure suite under moderate IV sedation. The basis of performing this procedure stems from potential long-term relief that can be gained by causing focal injury to a sensory nerve branch responsible for innervating the arthritic joint. By delivering a 90 second radiofrequency signal to the small sensory nerve, focal nerve injury is caused affecting its ability to send a pain signal from that desired level.
