Cervical Radiofrequency Ablation Under Fluoroscopic Needle Guidance

Treat chronic neck pain with precise cervical radiofrequency ablation at CDL Rehabilitation in Miami.

What Cervical Radiofrequency Ablation Under Fluoroscopic Needle Guidance Are

Cervical radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to target and destroy nerve tissue in the cervical spine, which is responsible for transmitting pain signals.

Treatment Description

This treatment involves using a needle, guided by fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray), to deliver radiofrequency energy to the affected nerve. The heat disrupts the nerve's ability to transmit pain signals, providing long-term pain relief.

What It Includes

The treatment involves inserting a needle near the nerve under imaging guidance, followed by the application of radiofrequency energy to create a lesion that disrupts pain transmission. Sessions usually last 30-60 minutes.

Disorders treated

What Are Cervical Radiofrequency Ablation Under Fluoroscopic Needle Guidance Used For?

Cervical radiofrequency ablation is effective for treating conditions like cervical radiculopathy, chronic neck pain, arthritis in the cervical spine, facet joint pain, and herniated discs that cause nerve compression.

Cervical Radiculopathy
Relieves pain caused by nerve root compression in the cervical spine, especially radiating pain down the arms, by using radiofrequency to disrupt pain signals.
Cervical Facet Joint Dysfunction
Reduces pain and inflammation caused by dysfunction in the facet joints of the cervical spine by targeting the source of pain with radiofrequency energy.
Chronic Neck Pain
Provides long-term pain relief for chronic neck pain, particularly due to inflammation or nerve irritation in the cervical spine.
Spinal Stenosis
Eases symptoms of cervical spinal stenosis, such as neck pain, arm weakness, or numbness, by reducing nerve pressure and inflammation.
Post-Surgical Pain
Alleviates persistent pain after cervical spine surgery by addressing inflammation in the facet joints and nerve roots.
Whiplash Injuries
Reduces neck pain and discomfort caused by whiplash by disrupting pain signals from irritated nerves or facet joints in the cervical spine.
Headaches
Provides relief from cervicogenic headaches (neck-related headaches) caused by spinal misalignments or nerve irritation in the cervical region.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Neck Pain
Without cervical radiofrequency ablation, chronic neck pain caused by irritated facet joints or nerve endings may remain unresolved.
Reduced Mobility
Lack of treatment can lead to stiffness and limited range of motion in the neck, affecting daily activities and overall functionality.
Progression of Nerve Pain
Untreated nerve pain can worsen, potentially radiating to the shoulders or arms, causing numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Increased Inflammation
Failure to address inflammation in the cervical spine may exacerbate discomfort and delay recovery.
Development of Chronic Conditions
Delayed intervention can lead to long-term degeneration of cervical joints or nerves, requiring more invasive treatments like surgery.
