Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Radiofrequency ablation uses a special type of needle to apply radio waves to a painful nerve, in turn “stunning” it and relieving the pain. The procedure is referred to by many names: RF, RFA, rhizotomy, and neurotomy. There are several different types of Radiofrequency Ablation: 1  Thermal or Conventional RFA: A radiofrequency current is created which causes energy to pool in the tissue.

Rhizotomy Definition Rhizotomy is a surgical procedure to sever nerve roots in the spinal cord. The procedure effectively relieves chronic back pain and muscle spasms. For spinal joint pain, a facet rhizotomy may provide lasting low back pain relief by disabling the sensory nerve at the facet joint. An electrified hot probe is inserted at the sensory nerve just outside the joint to disable the nerve and prevent pain signals from reaching the brain.

Radiofrequency Ablation Radiofrequency Ablation Radiofrequency ablation (RFA, also called Radiofrequency neurotomy or lesioning) is a minimally invasive procedure used to reduce facet joint pain in the back or neck. An electrical current produced by a radio wave is used to heat up a small area of nerve tissue, thereby decreasing the ability of those nerves to transmit pain signals from that specific area to the brain.
