Radiofrequency Neurolysis

In modern medical practice, radiofrequency nerve ablation is a useful treatment option for certain types of chronic pain including head and neck pain from whiplash injury, chronic lumbar facet joint pain, and certain types of neuralgia. Diagnostic nerve blocks are routinely performed as a screening test before nerve ablation by radiofrequency is considered. Radiofrequency neurolysis can be performed as an outpatient procedure.
