Remedies For Sacroiliitis

Radiofrequency Denervation

Radiofrequency denervation is also known as radiofrequency ablation or radiofrequency neurotomy. This treatment is recommended when pain can be attributed to the joints. In addition, it is recommended when other treatments, such as steroid treatment, are only offering temporary relief. A radiofrequency procedure is an outpatient procedure that takes roughly thirty minutes to administer. In this procedure, radiofrequency energy is used to cut off the nerve supply to the painful joint using thermal denervation. Before the procedure, the patient will be placed under local anesthesia and light intravenous sedation. A medical practitioner will then use x-ray to guide them to the nerves leading to the inflamed joint. Once the specific joint is located, a heat lesion is generated to kill off the nerve.
