A Modern, Precise Solution for Chronic Nerve Pain

Radiofrequency Ablation is one of the most advanced and accurate techniques used in treating chronic nerve pain.
It provides an effective option for patients whose pain persists despite medications or traditional therapies.

What is Radiofrequency Ablation?

Radiofrequency Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to generate targeted heat on the nerves responsible for pain.

This controlled heat disrupts or modifies the abnormal pain signals sent to the brain — significantly reducing pain while preserving the normal function of the nerve.

When is RFA used?

RFA is widely used to treat:

• Chronic spine pain, such as disc herniation or facet joint degeneration.
• Neck and lower back pain radiating to the limbs.
• Joint pain, including knee and pelvic joints.
• Certain facial pain conditions, such as trigeminal neuralgia.
• Chronic peripheral nerve pain.

Benefits of Radiofrequency Ablation

• A non-surgical procedure performed through a fine needle under imaging guidance.
• No surgical incision and no long recovery period.
• Longer-lasting results compared to medications or steroid injections.
• High precision and safety by targeting the nerve accurately without affecting surrounding tissues.
• Helps patients return to normal activities more quickly while reducing dependence on painkillers.

How is the procedure performed?

Local anaesthesia is applied.

A fine needle is inserted under X-ray or ultrasound guidance.

A radiofrequency current is delivered through the needle to heat the targeted nerve.

The patient usually goes home the same day without needing hospitalisation.
