RADIOFREQUENCY RHIZOTOMY
Overview
Are you looking for a highly effective solution for chronic pain? Pain Management Care, PC provides advanced radiofrequency rhizotomy treatments to help patients find lasting pain relief. Radiofrequency rhizotomy is a minimally invasive procedure that targets and disrupts the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals to the brain. This innovative treatment is an excellent option for individuals experiencing chronic pain conditions such as arthritis or neuropathy.
How Does Radiofrequency Rhizotomy Work?
During a radiofrequency rhizotomy procedure, a qualified pain management specialist uses a specialized needle to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy to specific nerve pathways. This energy heats the nerve, creating a lesion that disrupts its ability to transmit pain signals. By targeting the nerves responsible for chronic pain, this procedure can provide significant and long-lasting relief.
Benefits of Radiofrequency Rhizotomy
Radiofrequency rhizotomy offers several benefits compared to traditional pain management methods. Some of the key advantages include:
- Relief from Chronic Pain: Radiofrequency rhizotomy specifically targets the source of chronic pain, providing effective and targeted relief.
- Minimally Invasive: Unlike surgical interventions, radiofrequency rhizotomy is a minimally invasive procedure that requires only a local anesthetic, resulting in minimal discomfort and shorter recovery times.
- Long-Term Results: Many patients experience relief from pain for several months or even years following the procedure, reducing the need for ongoing pain management medications or therapies.
The Radiofrequency Rhizotomy Procedure
The radiofrequency rhizotomy procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Preparation: Prior to the procedure, you will have a consultation with our pain management specialist to assess your condition and determine if radiofrequency rhizotomy is the right option for you.
- Anesthesia: Once you arrive for your procedure, a local anesthetic will be administered to numb the area being treated and ensure your comfort throughout the process.
- Insertion of the Needle: Using fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance, the pain management specialist will insert a thin needle into the targeted nerve.
- Radiofrequency Application: Once the needle is correctly positioned, radiofrequency energy will be delivered to create a lesion on the nerve, interrupting its pain signals.
- Recovery and Follow-Up: Following the procedure, you will be monitored for a short period to ensure you are comfortable. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule a follow-up appointment to assess your progress.
Conditions Treated with Radiofrequency Rhizotomy
Radiofrequency rhizotomy has shown excellent results in managing various chronic pain conditions including:
- Arthritis: Radiofrequency rhizotomy can effectively alleviate pain associated with arthritis, such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
- Neuropathy: Individuals with neuropathy-related pain, often caused by conditions like diabetes, can benefit from radiofrequency rhizotomy.
