      1. What is a radiofrequency ablation? Radiofrequency ablation is a procedure that takes place after two diagnostic medial branch blocks (see our separate handout on this). This procedure ablates (or burns) medial branches, which are pain-sensing nerves that send pain signals from joints in the spine (called “facet joints”) to your brain.

      The radio frequency nerve ablation facet joint injections are helpful in some people with chronic back pain due to facet joint pain. The pain relief may take days or weeks to take effect and may not be 100% effective. Some patients may not get any relief at all. In some groups of patients the injection helps by reducing the number of ...

Each joint has two nerves, so this will need to be done twice or perhaps more depending on the number of sites to be treated. Your vital signs will be monitored for the duration of the procedure.

      Radiofrequency nerve ablation (neurotomy) is a minimally invasive procedure that can reduce back and neck pain. Radiofrequency neurotomy involves applying heat to certain nerve pathways to “shut off” the transmission of pain signals to the brain. The radio waves are delivered to the targeted nerves via needles inserted through the skin.
