Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation for Spine Pain Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure used to treat chronic spine-related pain, particularly originating from the facet joints in the neck (cervical) or lower back (lumbar). During the procedure, a thin needle is precisely placed near the pain-carrying nerves under fluoroscopy (X-ray guidance), and controlled radiofrequency energy is applied to temporarily disrupt these nerves, preventing them from transmitting pain signals to the brain. This treatment is typically recommended for patients with chronic back or neck pain who have responded positively to diagnostic nerve blocks but have not achieved lasting relief with medications or physical therapy. RF ablation does not require general anesthesia, is usually performed as a day procedure, and allows patients to return to daily activities within a short time. Benefits of RF Ablation: Significant and long-lasting pain relief (often 6–12 months or longer) Minimally invasive with no large incisions Reduced need for pain medications Improved mobility and quality of life RF ablation is considered a safe and effective option for carefully selected patients, helping manage chronic spinal pain and delay or avoid more invasive surgical interventions.
