Nerve Ablation Treatment in Glasgow

Effective Pain Relief with Radio Frequency Ablation

Are you living with chronic neuropathic pain? Commonwealth Pain & Spine Glasgow offers nerve ablation, also known as radio frequency ablation, as a minimally invasive treatment to help you find relief. This innovative procedure uses heat to target and disrupt the nerve fibers responsible for transmitting pain signals to your brain. 

Our dual-board-certified physicians provide safe, effective nerve ablation to address pain in the back, neck, and arthritic joints, helping you regain control of your life.

Conditions Treated with Nerve Ablation

If physical therapy, medications, or other treatments haven't successfully managed your chronic pain, nerve ablation may be the solution you need. 

This procedure is effective in treating several conditions, including:

• Damaged facet joints
• Arthritis
• Chronic nerve pain
• Failed back surgery syndrome

At Commonwealth Pain & Spine Glasgow, we specialize in advanced pain management techniques, including nerve ablation, to help you achieve long-term relief and improve your quality of life. Our team will assess your condition and determine if this treatment is right for you.

Benefits of Nerve Ablation

Unlike invasive surgeries or long-term reliance on pain medications, nerve ablation provides a targeted and minimally invasive option for chronic pain relief.

Key benefits include:

• Minimized need for invasive surgery
• Faster recovery and return to daily activities
• Reduced dependence on pain medications
• Improved mobility, sleep, and overall quality of life

Radiofrequency ablation offers lasting relief by addressing the source of your pain. At Commonwealth Pain & Spine Glasgow, we utilize advanced technology to ensure effective and precise results.

What to Expect from the Nerve Ablation Process

Getting started with nerve ablation is simple. Complete our self-referral form, and we'll work with your primary care physician to coordinate a referral and schedule your appointment.

Here's an overview of the procedure:

1. Consultation: Our specialists will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and use diagnostic tests to confirm if nerve ablation is the right treatment for your condition.
2. Preparation: The procedure begins with a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. You'll remain awake throughout the process, though a mild sedative can be provided for relaxation. The treatment typically lasts 10–20 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
3. Precise Needle Placement: Using fluoroscopic imaging, your physician will guide a thin needle to the affected nerve. You may feel pressure during this step, along with a brief sensation of tightness or warmth.
4. Application of Radiofrequency Energy: A controlled radiofrequency current is applied for about 90 seconds once the needle is correctly positioned. This heat creates a small lesion on the nerve, interrupting its ability to send pain signals.
5. Recovery: Most patients experience immediate relief following the procedure. While some soreness at the injection site is expected, many return to their usual activities within 24–72 hours.
