Radiofrequency Ablation for Chronic Pain

By October 1, 2026Blog

A Precise Solution for Long-Lasting Relief

Chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and nerve-related disorders can disrupt daily life and limit mobility. For patients who haven’t found lasting relief from medications, injections, or physical therapy, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) offers a minimally invasive treatment that targets pain at its source.

At Acute Pain Therapies, we specialize in advanced interventional procedures like RFA to help patients reduce pain, restore movement, and reclaim quality of life.

What Is Radiofrequency Ablation?

RFA uses heat generated by radio waves to disrupt the function of pain-causing nerves. By precisely targeting these nerves, RFA prevents them from transmitting pain signals to the brain.

Benefits of Radiofrequency Ablation

  • Long-Lasting Relief: Pain reduction can last from 6 months up to 2 years.
  • Minimally Invasive: Outpatient procedure with no need for general anesthesia.
  • Improved Function: Many patients return to daily activities with less pain.
  • Reduced Medication Use: Can decrease or eliminate reliance on pain medications.
  • Conditions Treated with RFA
  • Facet joint pain in the neck or back
  • Sacroiliac joint pain
  • Certain types of neuropathic pain
  • Arthritis-related pain in the spine and large joints

Clinical Evidence

Studies show RFA provides significant, sustained pain relief for a large percentage of patients, often outperforming steroid injections or repeat conservative therapies. Patients report improved mobility, sleep, and quality of life.
