Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation: Targeted Relief for Chronic Pain
Welcome to Epione Spine & Pain Care Centre, where we offer cutting-edge cooled radiofrequency ablation (CRFA) as a revolutionary solution for chronic pain management. Harnessing the power of advanced technology, CRFA provides targeted relief for individuals suffering from debilitating pain, allowing them to reclaim their lives and rediscover freedom from discomfort.
Pain-Free Living: Your Path to Lasting Relief
Understanding Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation
Cooled radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure. it uses thermal energy to disrupt pain signals transmitted by nerves, thus providing long-lasting relief. Unlike traditional radiofrequency ablation techniques, CRFA utilizes a cooled electrode to precisely target nerve fibers while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. This results in enhanced efficacy and improved patient outcomes.
The COOLIEF Cooled RF System* enables placement of large volume & spherical lesions in nervous and disc tissue without increased risk of adjacent tissue damage. COOLIEF* Cooled RF circulates water through the device while heating nervous tissue to create a treatment area that is larger than conventional RF treatments. This combination targets the pain-causing nerves without excessive heating, leading to pain relief. This unique, patented, water-cooled technology unleashes the potential for a host of current and future RF treatment options for chronic spinal, knee and hip pain, to help give patients the quality of life they deserve.
Conditions Treated with CRFA
Cooled radiofrequency ablation is particularly effective in managing chronic pain conditions, including:
- Chronic back pain
- Facet joint pain
- Sacroiliac joint pain
- Neuropathic pain syndromes
- Arthritis-related pain
Benefits of CRFA
CRFA offers several advantages over other treatment options:
- Targeted Relief: CRFA precisely targets the affected nerves, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and optimizing pain relief.
- Long-lasting Results: Many patients experience relief for an extended period, allowing them to reduce reliance on pain medications and resume normal activities.
- Minimally Invasive: CRFA is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia, with minimal discomfort and downtime for patients.
- Improved Functionality: By reducing pain and improving mobility, CRFA enables patients to participate in physical therapy and other rehabilitative activities more effectively.
Is CRFA Right for You?
If you’re living with chronic pain that hasn’t responded to conservative treatments such as medication or physical therapy, CRFA may offer an effective solution. Our experienced team at Epione Spine & Pain Care Centre will evaluate your medical history, conduct a thorough examination, and discuss treatment options to determine if CRFA is suitable for your condition
THE POWER OF TARGETED TREATMENT EVEN IN DIFFICULT TO TREAT SPINE ANATOMY
COOLIEF* COOLED RF FOR CHRONIC CERVICAL PAIN
Anatomically tailored cooled RF offering relief in the cervical region by delivering large volume lesions where anatomy and nerve path are variable.
COOLIEF* COOLED RF FOR CHRONIC LUMBAR BACK PAIN
Large volume, anatomy-specific lesion using a perpendicular approach encompasses the medial branch nerve in one pass, eliminating the need for multiple passes.
COOLIEF* SINERGY* COOLED RF FOR CHRONIC SACROILIAC JOINT PAIN
Large volume lesions ablate the variable target neural structures between the posterior sacral foramina and the painful SI joint.
COOLIEF* COOLED RF FOR CHRONIC THORACIC FACET PAIN
Large volume lesion size and position compensate for the variable course of the medial branch nerve, especially in the mid-thoracic levels.
COOLIEF*TRANSDISCAL* COOLED RF FOR DISCOGENIC BACK PAIN
For intervertebral disc biacuplasty, bipolar probe placement straight into the disc creates large, reproducible lesion within a significant volume of the disc.
COOLIEF* COOLED RF FOR CHRONIC HIP JOINT PAIN
Now available to target and treat sensory branches of the obturator and femoral nerves innervating the hip joint.
COOLIEF* COOLED RF FOR CHRONIC KNEE PAIN
A minimally invasive option for genicular nerve ablation.
