Hip Cooled RFA Procedure

What is Hip Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?

Hip Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the nerves responsible for transmitting chronic hip pain. By using cooled radiofrequency energy, this treatment safely creates a controlled lesion on the pain-generating nerves while protecting surrounding tissues.

This advanced technique is highly effective for reducing pain caused by osteoarthritis, hip injuries, and post-surgical conditions.
