Neural Ablation Procedures
Radiofrequency thermal ablation is a minimally-invasive procedure that involves placement of a special needle that utilizes high frequency vibration to create a precise high temperature area. This destroys the specific nerves that innervate the painful joints decreasing pain. It can provide long-term relief of chronic pain and improved mobility for up to 2 years, and can be repeated in the future if needed.
This procedure can be utilized to treat:
- Facet Syndrome (neck and back)
- Knee pain
- Sacroiliac joint pain
- Shoulder pain
