the procedure
Radiofrequency Lesioning is performed by a Pain Specialist, typically in a hospital or a surgical center, on an outpatient basis.
Following the administration of a local anesthetic, your physician will use an x-ray to guide a small insulated needle into the general area where you are experiencing pain.
Then your physician will stimulate the nerves near the tip of the needle to make sure it is correctly placed. When the correct site has been found, Radiofrequency Lesioning treatment will begin.
During treatment, a Radiofrequency Generator transmits a small radiofrequency current through the insulated needle, to disrupt the specific nerve sending pain signals to your brain. More than one area may need to be treated to achieve optimal pain relief.
