🌟 Tired of Reoccurring Back Pain? 🌟
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), also called radiofrequency neurotomy, is a minimally invasive procedure that targets pain-transmitting nerves. By applying heat to these nerves, RFA blocks pain signals from reaching the brain — often providing longer-lasting relief than traditional injections.
⏺ Relief can last 6 months to 2 years (sometimes up to 3 years!)
⏺ Helps reduce the need for long-term pain medications
⏺ Improves mobility and function so you can stay active
⏺ May delay or even avoid surgery
RFA is commonly used to treat chronic pain from the facet joints in the spine or the sacroiliac joints in the pelvis/hips. If pain returns, the treatment can be safely repeated — studies show up to 85% of patients get significant relief.
💡 Ask your provider if RFA could be right for you!
