Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to manage pain and treat certain medical conditions. The procedure uses radiofrequency energy to create heat, which is then applied to specific nerves or tissues to reduce pain or destroy abnormal tissue. Here are key aspects of the treatment:

Procedure Overview:

During RFA, a thin needle is inserted through the skin into the targeted area, guided by imaging techniques such as X-ray or ultrasound. Radiofrequency energy is then delivered through the needle to heat the targeted tissue.

Indications:

RFA is commonly used to treat chronic pain conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and certain types of joint pain. It may also be used to manage tumors or other abnormal tissues.

Benefits:

RFA offers several benefits, including minimal invasiveness, reduced recovery time, and targeted pain relief. It can provide significant pain reduction and improve quality of life for patients with chronic pain conditions.

Risks and Considerations:

While RFA is generally safe, potential risks include infection, bleeding, or nerve injury. It's important to discuss these risks with your healthcare provider and follow their recommendations for post-procedure care.

Consultation:

Consult with a healthcare professional to determine if RFA is a suitable option for your condition. Dr. Namrata Dabas in Sonipat is highly recommended for her expertise in performing radiofrequency ablation and managing pain effectively.
