RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION

---

Are you struggling with neck or back pain in the Phoenix metro area? At Red Butte Pain Solutions, we understand how debilitating this pain can be. That’s why we offer a cutting-edge treatment called Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), designed to bring long-lasting relief and restore quality to your life. 

 RFA is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to target and disable the nerves that send pain signals to your brain. This safe and effective treatment can provide lasting relief for those suffering from chronic pain, especially in the lower back, neck, and arthritic joints. 

RFA is commonly used to treat pain related to the degeneration of joints from arthritis. Specifically, it can help patients with chronic low-back and neck pain stemming from the vertebral facet joints. These small paired joints on the back of the spinal column can become a source of pain due to conditions like arthritis, injury, or degenerative changes. 

1.  Diagnosis: Before RFA, patients typically undergo diagnostic medial branch blocks. These blocks confirm the diagnosis of facet pain and help determine if they would benefit from ablation.
2. Procedure: During RFA, a needle is inserted near the affected nerve. Radiofrequency energy is then applied to create heat, which disrupts the nerve’s ability to transmit pain signals.
3. Pain Relief: The degree of pain relief varies, but more than 70% of patients experience relief after RFA. Pain relief can last from six months to several years.

•  Minimal Recovery Time: RFA offers nearly immediate pain relief with little to no recovery time.
• Safety: RFA is generally well-tolerated, with very few complications.
