What Is Radiofrequency Ablation?

Radiofrequency Ablation is a medical procedure that uses thermal energy to disrupt pain signals sent by specific nerves. By applying controlled radiofrequency waves to the affected area, RFA effectively reduces chronic pain, especially in the back, neck, knees, and hips.

  • Minimally invasive
  • Performed under local anaesthesia
  • Clinically proven for lasting results
  • Often used when other treatments haven’t worked

FAQ’s for Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to disrupt nerve signals causing chronic pain. It's commonly used to treat back, neck, and joint pain without the need for surgery.

Most patients experience pain relief for 6 to 12 months, and in some cases, up to 24 months. Nerves can regenerate over time, so repeat treatments may be necessary for long-term management.

The procedure is typically well-tolerated. A local anaesthetic is used to numb the area, and patients may feel a slight warming sensation. Mild soreness at the treatment site is normal and usually subsides within a few days.

Dr. Ralph Rogers uses RFA to treat:

  • Chronic lower back pain
  • Knee osteoarthritis
  • Neck and cervical facet pain
  • Hip joint pain
  • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
  • Nerve pain after injuries

The RFA treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the number of nerves being targeted. You’ll be able to go home the same day.

Most patients return to light activities within 24–48 hours. Full recovery varies but is generally fast, with pain relief improving over the first 1–3 weeks post-treatment.

Yes, RFA is a safe and FDA-approved procedure with a low risk of complications. Side effects are rare and usually minor, such as temporary numbness or mild bruising.

If you suffer from chronic joint, spine, or nerve pain that hasn’t improved with other treatments, you may be a candidate. Dr. Rogers will perform a full assessment to determine if RFA is right for your condition.
