Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) uses heat to disrupt pain signals from nerves, offering long-lasting relief for chronic back, neck, knee, and joint pain when other treatments fail.
Back pain can originate from joints, discs, or nerves. A nerve block is often the first step, helping localize the problem and provide temporary relief. If successful, RFA can follow for longer pain control.
Sympathetic nerve blocks target specific ganglia to manage chronic pain from stellate ganglion, lumbar sympathetic, celiac plexus, hypogastric plexus, superior hypogastric plexus, and ganglion impar.
It is a minimally invasive procedure using the Racz catheter to remove scar tissue, relieve chronic back and sciatic pain, and restore mobility—an effective alternative to spine surgery.
