Radiofrequency Neuroablation is a modern pain control techniques. This non-surgical technique is also known as a rhizotomy. In this procedure, radiofrequency waves are transferred to certain nerves to obstruct the pain signals to the brain.

It is a minimally invasive pain treatment procedure that is performed at a doctor’s clinic or office. You can go home the same day after the procedure.
Radiofrequency neuroablation is one of the most effective pain management techniques. With this procedure, the heat produced through radio waves is used to demolish the targeted pain-causing tissues. When it is applied to the targeted nerve, radio waves damage the nerves and prevent and stop pain signals from reaching the brain.
