Radiofrequency Ablation
We know that lower back and joint pain can take a toll on your life and on your mental health. We use Radiofrequency Ablations to heat affected nerves effectively blocking pain signals coming from these nerves, leading to months-long pain relief.
What happens during a Radiofrequency Ablation?
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive, out-patient procedure, in which your provider places specialized needles over the affected nerves and then sends thermal energy or heat signals through the needles. This temporarily disconnects the nerves blocking pain signals coming from the joints. At Altus, with over 20 years of experience, we offer RFAs to accurately target areas that provide maximum pain relief.
What conditions does a Radiofrequency Ablation treat?
Radiofrequency Ablations are a proven and minimally-invasive way of treating several painful conditions, including these:
