Radiofrequency therapy is one of the most advanced techniques used to treat spinal and joint pain, as well as disc herniation and lower back and neck pain. This technique is characterized by high safety and great effectiveness, achieving remarkable success in treating mild to moderate cases that do not require surgical intervention.
When is radiofrequency therapy used?
Radiofrequency therapy is used in cases where symptoms do not respond to traditional treatments such as medications or physical therapy, and it is an effective treatment option for patients suffering from:
- Chronic pain caused by arthritis in the spine.
- Pain resulting from repeated injuries or after surgery.
- Pain associated with disc herniation.
How does radiofrequency therapy work?
This procedure is typically performed using high-frequency radio waves to generate heat that affects the nerves, and this is done through several steps including:
- Identifying the target nerves.
- Anesthetizing the area.
- Inserting the radiofrequency needle.
- Applying radiofrequency therapy.
- Affecting the sensory part of the nerve.
Benefits of Radiofrequency Therapy
Radiofrequency therapy offers numerous therapeutic benefits, most notably:
- Long-term pain relief: The effects of radiofrequency therapy can last for several months and even years.
- Safe and non-surgical procedure: Radiofrequency therapy is typically performed under local anesthesia and does not require a long recovery period.
- Improved quality of life: Allows patients to return to their daily activities without pain.
