Age, poor posture, stress, a sedentary lifestyle, and obesity all contribute to the development of chronic pain across your body. These chronic pains can start interfering with your daily activities if not treated properly. This is where we can help.
At Maasumi Headache & Spine Care, we offer radiofrequency ablation in Rancho Santa Margarita, to assist you with all your pain management, providing the desired relief. RFA (radiofrequency ablation) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses high-frequency radio waves to send heat to the targeted nerves, destroying them, and thus preventing them from sending pain signals to the brain. So, you can get rid of all your chronic pain, especially in the arthritic joints, lower back, and neck.

The effectiveness of the treatment varies from person to person. Though most people have some pain relief following the RFA treatment, how much relief they experience depends on the origin point of their pain and its root cause. While some people can have immediate pain relief, others may have to wait for 10 days to three weeks to get rid of pain.
The results of RFA treatment may last anywhere from six to 12 months and sometimes a few years. It is possible for the treated nerve to regrow, but only after 6-12 months following the treatment. In such circumstances, the treatment can be repeated.
To know how the treatment will work for you and its effectiveness and lasting duration, talk with our physician, Dr. KC Maasumi MD, MS. He will tell you everything about the procedure concerning its success rate and how long the pain relief will last based on the root cause, location, and severity of your pain.
