Chronic pain can change everything — how you move, how you sleep, how you work, and how you show up for the people you love. For many patients, pain lingers long after an injury or surgical procedure, becoming a daily obstacle that feels impossible to overcome. At Genesis Wellness and Pain Clinic, serving Forney and Wichita Falls, we specialize in advanced, minimally invasive treatments that target pain at its source. One of the most effective options we offer is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA).

RFA has become a cornerstone of modern pain management because it provides long‑lasting relief without surgery, heavy medications, or extended downtime. For patients seeking a safe, targeted solution, RFA can be life‑changing.

What Is Radiofrequency Ablation?

Radiofrequency Ablation is a non‑surgical, image‑guided procedure that uses controlled heat to interrupt pain signals traveling through specific nerves. These nerves act like electrical wires, carrying pain messages from the body to the brain. When they are overactive or damaged, they can send constant signals that create chronic discomfort.

During RFA, a specialized needle delivers radiofrequency energy to the targeted nerve. This energy gently heats the nerve, temporarily disrupting its ability to transmit pain. The result is significant, often long‑lasting relief.

RFA is commonly used to treat:

• Post‑surgical pain
• Facet joint pain
• Arthritis‑related spine pain
• Chronic neck and low‑back pain
• Sacroiliac joint pain
• Nerve‑related pain that has not responded to conservative care

Because RFA is minimally invasive and highly precise, it is an excellent option for patients who want meaningful relief without major intervention.

Why Patients Choose RFA at Genesis Wellness

1. It’s Minimally Invasive

RFA requires only a tiny needle — no incisions, no stitches, and no hospital stay. Most patients return home the same day and resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.

2. It Targets the Exact Source of Pain

Unlike medications that affect the entire body, RFA focuses on the specific nerves responsible for your discomfort. This precision makes it especially effective for spine‑related pain and joint degeneration.

3. It Offers Long‑Lasting Relief

Many patients experience relief that lasts six months to two years, depending on how quickly the nerve regenerates. For some, RFA becomes part of a long‑term pain management plan that dramatically improves daily function.

4. It Reduces the Need for Medications

Because RFA addresses pain at its source, many patients are able to reduce or eliminate their reliance on pain medications — especially opioids.

5. It Supports a Faster, More Comfortable Recovery

RFA is performed using local anesthesia and imaging guidance, ensuring accuracy and comfort. Most patients walk out of the clinic shortly after the procedure.

What to Expect During and After the Procedure

During the Procedure

• You’ll lie comfortably while the provider uses fluoroscopy (real‑time X‑ray) to guide the needle.
• A local anesthetic numbs the area.
• Radiofrequency energy is applied to the targeted nerve.
• The entire procedure typically takes 20–40 minutes.

After the Procedure

• Mild soreness at the injection site is normal and usually resolves quickly.
• Most patients return to daily activities within a day or two.
• Pain relief often develops gradually over several weeks as the nerve fully responds to treatment.
• Some patients may benefit from additional sessions depending on the severity and location of their pain.

Throughout your recovery, the Genesis Wellness team monitors your progress and adjusts your care plan as needed.
