Long-Lasting Pain Relief Without Surgery
Say Goodbye to Chronic Nerve Pain
If pain keeps returning even after injections, Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) could offer longer-lasting relief. At Kumar Medical Pain Management P.C., we use this advanced, non-surgical treatment to help reduce nerve pain and give you back control of your life.
What is Radiofrequency Ablation?
Radiofrequency Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat energy to “turn off” specific pain-causing nerves. It’s commonly used to treat chronic neck, back, or joint pain that hasn’t improved with other treatments like physical therapy or injections.
RFA targets the small nerves that send pain signals from the joints — especially the facet joints or sacroiliac joints — to the brain. By safely disrupting these nerves, pain is reduced or even stopped completely for several months or longer.
Conditions commonly treated with RFA include:
Arthritis-related spine or joint pain
Chronic neck or lower back pain
Pain after whiplash or injury
Sacroiliac joint pain
Pain returning after temporary injection relief
How the Treatment Works

Why Choose Radiofrequency Ablation?
Radiofrequency Ablation is ideal for patients seeking a longer-term solution without surgery or ongoing medications. It provides targeted relief by disabling the specific nerves responsible for your pain — not just covering the symptoms. Many patients find they can move better, sleep more comfortably, and enjoy daily life again with less or no medication. And because the procedure is minimally invasive, there’s no major downtime, making it a convenient and effective option for chronic pain relief.
