by y2madmin | Sep 2, 2020

RADIOFREQUENCY THERMACOAGULATION/RHIZOTOMY Radiofrequency Thermacoagulation (RFTC) Radiofrequency ablation, also called rhizotomy, is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to reduce or stop the transmission of pain. Radiofrequency waves ablate, or “burn,” the nerve that is causing the pain, essentially eliminating the transmission of pain signals to the brain. The pain relief may last six months to a year or even longer. Sometimes, nerves do grow back. In such cases, the...
