Cooled Radiofrequency
Achieve long-lasting pain relief with cooled radiofrequency therapy. Dr Ralph Rogers uses this advanced treatment to reduce chronic pain by targeting specific nerves, providing a minimally invasive solution for various pain conditions.
What is it?
Cooled radiofrequency is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to target and disrupt specific nerves, reducing their ability to transmit pain signals. The ""cooled"" aspect refers to the cooling of the electrode tip, allowing for larger treatment areas and increased safety.
A clinic appointment for cooled radiofrequency involves a detailed assessment of the pain area, followed by the precise application of radiofrequency energy to target nerves. Dr Rogers uses advanced techniques to ensure effective and safe pain relief.
