Radiofrequency Ablation: A Minimally Invasive Solution for Chronic Pain
Brought to you by Interventional Pain & Spine Center (IPSC), Wexford, PA
Chronic pain doesn’t just hurt—it affects your ability to work, sleep, move, and enjoy the life you deserve. At Interventional Pain & Spine Center, we specialize in advanced treatments that target the root of pain, not just the symptoms. One such treatment is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)—a safe, effective, and minimally invasive procedure that can provide months of relief without relying on daily medications or invasive surgery.
What Is Radiofrequency Ablation?
Radiofrequency ablation is a highly targeted pain relief procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to disable specific sensory nerves responsible for sending pain signals. At IPSC, we use precision-guided technology— including fluoroscopy and real-time imaging—to treat the exact nerves involved in your discomfort, ensuring accuracy and safety throughout the process.
What Conditions Can Be Treated with RFA?
Our team may recommend radiofrequency ablation if you suffer from:
- Chronic low back or neck pain
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
- Post-traumatic spinal pain
- Persistent pain after spine or joint surgery
- Knee or hip pain from osteoarthritis
How the Procedure Works
At Interventional Pain & Spine Center, RFA is performed on-site in our modern interventional suite. The procedure typically involves:
- Positioning and preparation
- Precision targeting
- Controlled heating
- Quick recovery
How Long Does Relief Last?
Relief from RFA varies by individual but often lasts 6 months to over a year. Some patients experience pain relief for 18–24 months, especially when combined with lifestyle changes and physical therapy. If pain returns, the procedure can be safely repeated.
The IPSC Difference
At Interventional Pain & Spine Center, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. Our approach to RFA is grounded in:
- Advanced diagnostics
- Board-certified expertise
- Patient-centered care
- Technology that matters
Is Radiofrequency Ablation Right for You?
If you're tired of taking pain medications, struggling with stiffness, or avoiding the activities you love, RFA may be a life-changing option. It’s particularly helpful for those who:
- Have already tried physical therapy, injections, or medications without long-term relief
- Are not candidates for surgery or prefer to avoid it
- Want a non-opioid, drug-free approach to managing chronic pain
