When medicines, physiotherapy, and other conservative treatments do not provide sufficient relief, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may be considered for selected patients.

Radiofrequency ablation is generally considered a safe procedure when performed on an appropriate patient by an experienced specialist. Before recommending RFA, the doctor evaluates the source of pain, medical history, imaging reports, and response to previous treatments. During the procedure, a thin needle is carefully guided toward the targeted nerve using imaging guidance. Radiofrequency energy is then delivered to the nerve to reduce its ability to transmit pain signals. Because the treatment focuses on specific nerves, it does not invo...
