Pulsed Radiofrequency
Experience effective pain management with pulsed radiofrequency therapy. Dr Ralph Rogers uses this advanced technique to reduce chronic pain by targeting specific nerves, providing a minimally invasive and non-destructive treatment option.
What is it?
Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses electrical fields to target and disrupt pain signals from specific nerves. Unlike continuous radiofrequency, PRF delivers intermittent pulses, reducing the risk of nerve damage while effectively managing pain.
A clinic appointment for pulsed radiofrequency involves a detailed assessment of the pain area, followed by the precise application of pulsed radiofrequency energy to target nerves. Dr Rogers ensures effective and safe pain relief through this advanced technique.
