Advanced technology that silences pain.

Lower back pain is a nuisance that affects all kinds of people. Radiofrequency ablation in Kansas City at one of our clinics can provide fast-acting pain relief. This treatment uses electrical currents and radio waves to heat up a small area of nerve tissue, stopping it from sending pain signals.

After your initial examination at Kansas City Orthopedic Alliance, we will recommend the best treatments for your needs. Depending on your pain level or location, this may include radiofrequency ablation.

Conditions treated by Radiofrequency Ablation

What We Treat

01/04

Our Process

The process begins with an initial appointment, and the length varies based on your condition.

More complex issues will require more time with your physician, especially if you have multiple musculoskeletal conditions. 

Our patient-centric approach means we conduct individualized tests and studies based on your physical examination.

During these tests, we will determine if radiofrequency ablation is the right treatment for your pain relief. 

02/04

Our Process

Radiofrequency ablation uses a small needle that is inserted into the tissue using a live X-ray.

We ablate or cauterize a nerve called the medial branch by heating the needle.

This medial branch nerve is responsible for sensing pain coming from small joints in the low back.

With this procedure, we essentially decrease the pain in the back by limiting the pain signal traveling in the nerves.

03/04

Our Process

We perform this treatment under anesthetic administered through an IV.

Patients will be sore for 2 or 3 days after treatment, but they should start to notice relief 2 or 3 weeks after treatment.

Throughout the treatment and recovery process, we focus on creating outcomes that maximize your functionality so you can return to your regular activities. 

04/04

Our Process

Our physicians will align their management recommendations with your goals.

Therefore, two people with the same diagnosis may undergo two different management plans.
