Overview
Radiofrequency ablation is a precise, minimally invasive procedure that goes straight to the source, quietly disrupting the nerve signal that has been stealing your sleep, your movement, and your life.
About
A precise radiofrequency current targets the specific nerve communicating pain.
The heat disrupts the nerve's ability to transmit pain signals to your brain.
Surrounding healthy tissue remains completely unaffected.
Significant, meaningful pain relief for most patients
Results that can last from several months to well over a year
A well-established procedure performed by pain specialists worldwide
Safe and highly targeted when performed under image guidance
Eligibility
You may be a candidate for Radiofrequency Ablation if you have been living with persistent pain that has not responded well to medication, physiotherapy, or other conservative treatments.
A thorough clinical evaluation is always required to confirm whether Radiofrequency Ablation is the right option for you.
If you have experienced any of these, a consultation with Painacea is the right place to start.
Procedure
A diagnostic injection helps identify the exact nerve causing your pain.
The treatment area is numbed, and light sedation may be given to keep you comfortable.
Using live X-ray guidance, the needle is accurately positioned near the target nerve.
A mild electrical signal confirms the needle is placed in the right location.
Controlled heat is applied to interrupt the nerve’s pain signals.
After brief monitoring, most patients return home the same day.

Cost depends on the area being treated and the number of nerves involved. Dr. Verma’s team will provide full pricing clarity during your consultation.
