Lumbar radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radio waves to treat chronic pain in the lower back. It is also known as lumbar radiofrequency neurotomy or lumbar facet denervationThe procedure targets the lumbar medial branch nerve, which transmits pain signals from the injured facet joint to the brainBy damaging the nerve, RFA stops the transmission of pain signals, providing lasting relief for patients with chronic lower back pain. #backpainrelief #backpaintre
