About RFA’s

What are Radiofrequency Ablations?

Radiofrequency ablations (RFAs) use radio waves to heat an area of the nerve and destroy that tissue, preventing pain signals from being sent back to your brain. This can provide long lasting relief for those with chronic pain.

Should I consider an RFA?

You should consider an RFA if:

  • You’ve had pain relief following an injection.

  • Your chronic pain has not responded to other forms of treatment.
