Radiofrequency Ablation in Brooklyn, NY

Are you struggling with chronic pain that hasn’t improved with medication or physical therapy? Radiofrequency Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that can offer long-term relief by targeting the nerves responsible for pain.

If you’re dealing with persistent discomfort due to arthritis, nerve damage, or spinal issues, RFA may be an ideal option. Our Brooklyn-based specialists provide safe and effective radiofrequency ablation treatments tailored to your condition.

What Is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?

Radiofrequency Ablation is a procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to temporarily disable nerves transmitting pain signals. By interrupting these pathways, RFA can offer significant relief for months or even longer.
