Lumbar radiofrequency nerve ablation (also called radiofrequency ablation or RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to reduce or eliminate pain signals from the lumbar spine. Here are some potential benefits of lumbar RFA: 1. Pain relief: Lumbar RFA can reduce or eliminate chronic low back pain that is caused by facet joint arthritis or other conditions. This can result in a significant improvement in quality of life. 2. Non-surgical: Lumbar RFA is a non-surgical procedure, which

Genicular radiofrequency ablation is a targeted treatment that addresses chronic knee pain at the nerve level—specifically the genicular nerves that surround your knee joint and transmit pain signals to your brain. This minimally invasive procedure uses controlled thermal energy, delivered through a specialized probe under imaging guidance, to interrupt those pain pathways without affecting your knee’s structure, stability, or normal function. What makes genicular RFA particularly valuable is th

Radiofrequency ablation is used to stop an erratic and often fast heart rhythm, known as atrial fibrillation or afib. Watch here to learn how. | Mayo Clinic
