Pulsed radiofrequency is an exciting, advanced therapy for treating pain. This minimally invasive technique utilizes a specialized needle under x-ray guidance to deliver electric current to the problem area. Short bursts of radiofrequency waves stun the nerve. The pain relief can last for months. Standard radiofrequency ablation actually destroys the nerve with temperatures reaching up to 82 degrees Celcius. These high temperatures can cause permanent irreversible damage to certain types of nerves.
This advancement of pulsed radiofrequency technology allows therapy of nerves that could not previously be treated with traditional radiofrequency. However, because this is new technology, many insurance companies do not currently offer coverage.
