RADIOFREQUENCY NEUROTOMY
Introduction to Radiofrequency Neurotomy
Looking for an effective solution to manage chronic pain? Consider radiofrequency neurotomy, a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to disrupt nerve signals causing pain. At Pain Management Care, PC, our experienced team of specialists is dedicated to providing advanced pain management solutions for our patients.
Understanding Radiofrequency Neurotomy
Radiofrequency neurotomy, also known as radiofrequency ablation, targets specific nerves to provide long-lasting pain relief. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as:
- Chronic back pain
- Neck pain
- Arthritis pain
- Facet joint pain
- And more
During the procedure, a specialized needle is placed near the affected nerve under the guidance of imaging techniques. Once in position, radiofrequency energy is delivered to the nerve, creating a heat lesion that disrupts its ability to transmit pain signals.
The Benefits of Radiofrequency Neurotomy
Radiofrequency neurotomy offers several advantages as a pain management technique:
- Long-lasting relief: Many patients experience relief that can last for several months or even years.
- Minimally invasive: The procedure is performed through a tiny incision, reducing the risk of complications and minimizing scarring.
- Targeted approach: Radiofrequency neurotomy specifically targets the nerves responsible for the pain, avoiding the need for systemic medication.
- Improved quality of life: By reducing or eliminating chronic pain, patients can regain their ability to perform daily activities and enjoy a better quality of life.
What to Expect during the Procedure
Radiofrequency neurotomy is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you can return home the same day. Prior to the procedure, our specialists will provide detailed instructions on how to prepare.
On the day of the procedure, you will be positioned comfortably on an examination table. Local anesthesia will be administered to numb the area around the treatment site, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
Using real-time imaging, our experts will precisely guide the needle to the targeted nerve. Once in place, radiofrequency energy will be applied, causing the nerve to heat up and create a lesion.
After the Procedure
Following radiofrequency neurotomy, some patients may experience temporary soreness or swelling at the treatment site. Our team will provide post-procedure instructions, including information on pain management and any necessary follow-up appointments.
