Cervical Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic neck pain that originates from the facet joints, often the result of whiplash injuries, auto accidents, or degenerative conditions. This technique involves using heat generated by radiofrequency waves to interrupt pain signals by targeting the small nerves supplying the affected joints in the cervical spine.
At the practice of Dr. Mariusz Nasiek, MD, cervical RF ablation is performed under fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance to ensure precision and safety. Patients typically experience significant and long-lasting pain relief, often lasting six months or longer, and can reduce or eliminate their reliance on pain medication.
This procedure is ideal for patients who have not found lasting relief from physical therapy, medications, or injections, and it plays a key role in comprehensive recovery plans following trauma or workplace injuries. Complete medical documentation is provided to support any associated personal injury or workers’ compensation case.
