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
