Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) at Aesthetics & Pain

Long-Lasting Relief for Chronic Neck, Back, and Joint Pain

When everyday pain becomes your new normal, it’s time for a better solution — one that doesn’t just mask the symptoms, but turns them off at the source. At Aesthetics & Pain, we offer Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) to help you get real, lasting relief without surgery or heavy medication. If you’ve been living with chronic spine or joint pain that hasn’t improved with physical therapy or injections, RFA might be the next step toward getting your life back.

What is Radiofrequency Ablation?

RFA is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy (a type of heat) to gently “turn off” specific pain-causing nerves. These nerves send pain signals from the joints in your spine or body to your brain. By interrupting those signals, RFA can give you months – even a year or more – of pain relief.

It’s commonly used for:

Lower back (lumbar) pain
Neck (cervical) pain
Mid-back (thoracic) pain
Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain
Facet joint arthritis
Pain from degenerative spine conditions

How Does It Work?

Consultation & Diagnostic Testing

We start by identifying the exact nerves causing your pain using a diagnostic nerve block. If that block relieves your pain, you’re likely a good candidate for RFA.

The RFA Procedure

• You’ll lie comfortably while we use fluoroscopy (live X-ray) to guide a thin needle to the nerve.
• Once the needle is placed, a small electrode delivers radiofrequency energy to the nerve — heating it just enough to disrupt its ability to send pain signals.
• The entire procedure takes about 30–45 minutes, depending on how many nerves are being treated.

Recovery

• Most people return to normal activity within 24–48 hours.
• Some soreness at the injection site is normal, but no stitches or major recovery is needed.
• Relief typically begins within 1–2 weeks and may last 6 to 12 months or more.
