What are the benefits of RFA?
The biggest benefit of RFA is that it provides effective relief in about 80% of patients! Though you’ll have some relief right away, it takes about one to three weeks for the full effects of RFA to take place.
The best part about RFA is that you get effective pain relief while experiencing additional benefits, including:
- Avoiding surgery
- Instant pain relief
- Little to no recovery time
- Reduced reliance on painkillers
- Improved mobility and function
- Pain alleviation that lasts
Pain relief typically lasts six months to two years, depending on the patient’s specific situation. For some patients, the pain never comes back.
