Radiofrequency ablation uses radio waves to create heat that is used to kill tissue. When the procedure is done on nerve tissue, it can provide relief from pain that has not been helped by other approaches.

Your provider may recommend this procedure if you are suffering from foot pain or have been diagnosed with Joint Osteoarthritis or have persistent post joint or abdominal surgery pain.

Radiofrequency ablation is a treatment option for patients who have experienced successful pain relief after a diagnostic nerve/pain receptor block injection.

Radiofrequency ablation is done using fluoroscopic (x-ray) guidance and should NOT be performed on people who have an infection, are pregnant, or have bleeding problems.
