A Radiofrequency Ablation or RFA is a needle-based procedure where a needle is placed close to a nerve that has been proven to be involved in the generation of a chronic painful condition. The most common way to predict an RFA will produce long-lasting (3-6 months or more) pain relief is by obtaining short-lasting relief with nerve blocks. After successful Nerve Blocks, an RFA is the next step in the management of your chronic pain.
