Radiofrequency ablation, also known as radiofrequency neurotomy, may be a viable treatment option for patients whose pain does not subside with self-care measures or treatments like physical therapy. This minimally invasive procedure involves using heat from radio waves to temporarily block pain signals from reaching the brain. During radiofrequency ablation, a doctor carefully places needles in precise locations of the spine to target specific problem-causing nerves. This procedure can be performed with mild sedation and a local anesthetic, and symptom relief can last up to nine months.

ORA Orthopedics in the Quad Cities takes a conservative approach to care that focuses on restoring comfort and range of motion with as little risk as possible to the patient. Therapies like radiofrequency ablation can help delay or may even eliminate the need for extensive surgery when they are combined with a healthy lifestyle. If you are tired of living with debilitating back pain and want to explore your treatment options, turn to ORA.
