Introduction
Chronic pain can significantly impact your quality of life, often requiring more than conventional treatments. At Kinesis Pain Speciality Centre, we offer advanced solutions like Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) to provide targeted and long-lasting pain relief. Our experienced specialists utilize state-of-the-art technology and precise techniques to effectively manage chronic pain conditions.
What is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to alleviate chronic pain conditions. It involves using radiofrequency energy to heat and disrupt the nerve signals responsible for transmitting pain. By precisely targeting these nerves, we can provide significant and lasting relief for patients suffering from chronic pain.
Conditions Treated with Radiofrequency Ablation
RFA is highly effective in managing various chronic pain conditions, including:
- Chronic Back Pain: Including pain arising from the facet joints, sacroiliac joint, or other sources in the spine.
- Neck Pain: Especially pain originating from the facet joints in the neck.
- Arthritis Pain: Targeting nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals in arthritic joints.
- Peripheral Nerve Pain: Such as occipital neuralgia or other nerve-related pain syndromes.
- Post-Surgery Pain: Providing relief for persistent pain following surgery.
The Radiofrequency Ablation Procedure
- Diagnostic Nerve Block: Before the RFA procedure, a diagnostic nerve block may be performed to confirm the specific nerves responsible for your pain.
- Precision Guidance: Using fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance, our specialists precisely position a thin needle near the targeted nerve.
- Radiofrequency Energy Application: A specialized electrode is then introduced through the needle, delivering radiofrequency energy to the nerve.
- Nerve Disruption: The radiofrequency energy creates heat, disrupting the nerve’s ability to transmit pain signals.
Benefits of Radiofrequency Ablation at Kinesis Pain Speciality Centre
- Targeted Relief: RFA directly addresses the nerves responsible for your pain, providing highly effective and focused pain relief.
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure is minimally invasive, reducing the risk of complications and allowing for a quicker recovery.
- Long-Lasting Results: Many patients experience significant and long-lasting pain relief, allowing them to resume normal activities.
- Reduced Dependency on Medications: RFA can often reduce the need for pain medications, minimizing potential side effects.
- Improved Quality of Life: By alleviating chronic pain, RFA can greatly enhance your overall well-being and daily functioning.
