What is Radiofrequency Ablation in Scottsdale?

Radiofrequency ablation in Scottsdale is a safe treatment that uses heat to stop pain signals from certain nerves. A thin needle sends gentle heat to the nerve so it stops sending pain messages to your brain. The procedure is done with care to keep you safe and comfortable.

How Can Radiofrequency Ablation Help You?

Here’s how radiofrequency ablation in Scottsdale works:

  1. The doctor cleans and numbs the skin near the painful area.
  2. With an X-ray, a thin needle is placed next to the nerve.
  3. Heat is sent through the needle to stop the nerve’s pain signals.
  4. The needle is removed, and the area is cleaned.
  5. You’ll rest for a bit, then you can go home.

The whole treatment usually takes about one hour. Many people feel pain relief for months or longer. Physical therapy may be recommended to help you stay strong and keep the pain away.
