Radio-frequency Ablation (RFA)
RFA is a common non-surgical procedure used to successfully treat those suffering from chronic back pain, neck pain, muscle pain, or other issues through the utilization of precise Fluoroscopic guidance, the Board Certified Physician inserts a thin needle through the skin and into the affected nerve. High-frequency electrical energy delivered through this needle heats up and destroys a small area of nerve tissue, thereby decreasing pain signals from the affected area. Some common advantages of having RFA performed are high success rate, same-day procedure, short recovery, and pain relief for up to 18 months.

At Airport Plaza Spine and Wellness in Hazlet, New Jersey, we offer a variety of non-surgical pain relief treatments with a special focus on Radio-Frequency Ablation (RFA). This advanced technique is widely used to alleviate chronic back and neck pain, as well as other nerve-related discomforts that affect daily life. RFA is minimally invasive, requires no overnight hospital stay, and offers long-lasting relief that can significantly improve quality of life.
Radio-Frequency Ablation works by interrupting pain signals that travel through the nerves. These nerves often become overactive or damaged due to age, repetitive strain, or injury. Instead of masking the pain with medications, RFA addresses the root of the issue by disabling the nerve’s ability to send pain signals. At our clinic, the procedure is performed under careful image guidance such as fluoroscopy or ultrasound to ensure the utmost accuracy and effectiveness.
Our team, led by board-certified physicians with years of experience in interventional pain management, takes the time to fully evaluate each patient’s condition before recommending RFA. Whether your pain originates in the lumbar spine, cervical region, or sacroiliac joints, RFA may offer a non-surgical alternative that restores mobility and comfort.
Unlike other procedures that rely on short-term solutions or temporary relief, Radio-Frequency Ablation delivers results that can last anywhere from six months to over a year and a half. Because the treated nerve can regenerate over time, some patients may require follow-up treatments.
Choosing RFA at Airport Plaza Spine and Wellness means choosing a patient-centered clinic that focuses on whole-body wellness. This includes detailed consultations, customized exercise regimens, ergonomic advice, and nutritional support that fosters healing from within.
RFA is especially effective in cases of facet joint pain, a common cause of chronic back pain that is often misdiagnosed or misunderstood. At Airport Plaza Spine and Wellness, we conduct precise diagnostic tests like medial branch blocks to confirm whether your pain originates from the facet joints.
Another condition we often treat with RFA is sacroiliac joint dysfunction. This issue causes lower back and pelvic pain, especially when sitting for long periods or climbing stairs. We also see patients with post-traumatic pain, failed back surgery syndrome, and even certain types of nerve entrapments who can benefit from this approach.
While side effects from RFA are rare, some patients may experience temporary soreness, bruising, or mild discomfort at the treatment site. These symptoms typically resolve on their own within a few days.
Our clinic’s central location in Hazlet makes it easy for residents across Monmouth County and beyond to access professional, compassionate care without having to travel far. We regularly welcome patients from Aberdeen, Holmdel, Matawan, and even further throughout the Jersey Shore region.
Radio-Frequency Ablation is a cutting-edge procedure increasingly recognized in the medical community for its effectiveness in treating patients with persistent, treatment-resistant pain. At Airport Plaza Spine and Wellness, we frequently perform RFA on individuals suffering from chronic discomfort due to conditions like spinal osteoarthritis, herniated discs, and mechanical lower back pain.
Another advantage of Radio-Frequency Ablation is its diagnostic value. Before performing the procedure, we conduct nerve blocks to determine whether a patient’s pain is likely to respond well to ablation. This helps prevent unnecessary treatment and gives both the physician and the patient confidence in the expected results.
RFA is also a proactive tool in preventing pain escalation. For many patients, intervening early with RFA can stop a cycle of worsening inflammation, muscle compensation, and joint strain, helping preserve function and prevent long-term disability.
Serving Monmouth County and the surrounding communities, Airport Plaza Spine and Wellness remains at the forefront of non-invasive pain management. We are proud to offer Radio-Frequency Ablation as a proven, evidence-based solution for patients seeking lasting relief without surgery or addictive medications.
