Lumbar Medial Branch Radiofrequency Ablation

By The Pain Experts of Arizona

 

Chronic lower back pain can make everyday activities difficult. When traditional treatments fail, many seek lasting relief. If you live in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, or Tempe, Arizona, lumbar medial branch radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may help. This minimally invasive procedure, available at The Pain Experts of Arizona, targets chronic back pain. Here, we explain how it works and why it could be right for you.

Understanding Lumbar Medial Branch Radiofrequency Ablation

Lumbar medial branch radiofrequency ablation treats pain from the facet joints in the lower back. These joints help the spine remain flexible and stable. Over time, injury, aging, or arthritis can inflame or damage them, leading to chronic pain.

Your pain specialist at The Pain Experts of Arizona uses image-guided techniques like fluoroscopy or ultrasound to target the medial branch nerves. These nerves transmit pain signals from the facet joints. The procedure applies radiofrequency heat to block the signals and relieve pain.

Benefits of Lumbar Medial Branch Radiofrequency Ablation

  • Minimally Invasive: We perform this outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. No major surgery or hospital stay is necessary, so you can quickly return to your activities.
  • Targeted Pain Relief: By targeting the medial branch nerves, RFA provides long-lasting relief. It often works better than medications or physical therapy.
  • Improved Mobility: Reducing pain helps you regain mobility and enjoy activities you once avoided, enhancing your quality of life.
  • Less Medication Use: RFA offers a drug-free solution to chronic pain without the side effects of long-term medication use.
