| How is radiofrequency performed? |
 |
 |
 |
| Radiofrequency is performed on an outpatient basis with the availability of monitoring and sedation. After sterilizing the area, a small amount of local anesthetic is used to numb the skin. Small needles are then placed through the numb area to the desired locations using special realtime x-ray (fluoroscopy) to ensure precise placement. A probe, attached to a radiofrequency generator, is passed through the needle and produces radiowaves that desensitize the desired nerves. The procedure itself takes less than 30 minutes, followed by a short observation period. |
