Radiofrequency ablation
Radiofrequency ablation for lower back pain
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve chronic lower back pain by targeting the nerves that send pain signals. For patients with pain due to conditions like facet joint arthritis or sacroiliitis, RFA offers a lasting solution without the need for surgery.

Chronic lower back pain can stem from various conditions, including arthritis and inflammation of the joints in the spine. This pain can interfere with daily activities, making it difficult to move comfortably, sleep well, or enjoy an active lifestyle.
How RFA relieves lower back pain
RFA works by using heat generated from radiofrequency energy to disrupt pain signals from specific nerves in the lower back. By “turning off” these pain signals, RFA can provide significant, long-lasting relief and reduce dependence on medications.
Benefits of radiofrequency ablation
What to expect during the RFA procedure
During the procedure, you’ll lie on a table while a local anesthetic is applied. Using imaging guidance, a thin needle is placed near the targeted nerve, and radiofrequency energy is applied to heat and disable the nerve, stopping it from sending pain signals.
Is RFA right for you?
RFA is often recommended for individuals with chronic lower back pain who haven’t found relief through other treatments, such as physical therapy or medications. A consultation with Delaware Spine & Interventional Pain can help you determine if RFA is a solution for you.
