Radio-frequency ablation is a method in which there will be an extinction either by heating or destroying the nerve of the dysfunctional tissue or the organ by passing heat and electrical effects to the region causing the pain. Radiofrequency ablation in New York is used to treat brain tumors with the help of radiation without actually touching the brain.
This procedure is also referred to as the fulguration method. In this technique, there will be minor damage to the surroundings and blood loss. In this method, there will be the use of non-ionizing waves. RFA is a three-step procedure in which the patient generally has to meet his doctor on three separate days in which there will be two days for diagnosing the accurate nerve causing the pain and if the patient is healthy for the procedure.
If the test is positive, the patient is shifted to the last stage, which is RFA. The medical professional will put some anesthetic medication and pass electrodes to that part of the nerve examined in the X-Ray. Firstly the sensory waves are tested, and then the motor waves are tested.
