What Is Lumbar Radiofrequency Ablation?

Intervertebral disc herniation radiofrequency ablation is a technique that treats disc herniation by outputting ultra-high frequency radio waves precisely through specific puncture needles, which causes local tissue to generate local high temperature, play thermal coagulation, or ablate and shrink the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc.

Disc herniation radiofrequency ablation

Disc herniation radiofrequency ablation is precisely output through a specific puncture guide

Therefore it is also called "radial disc herniation radiofrequency thermocoagulation" or "intervertebral disc herniation"

The treatment process is in

For pain treatment

Intervertebral disc radiofrequency ablation is mainly used for discogenic low back pain, bulging and inclusive disc herniation. It is not effective for large protrusions, and nucleus pulposus prolapse and free.
