Radiofrequency treatment uses heat to destroy nerves that transmit painful signals to the brain. Radiofrequency uses high frequency waves that create a lesion in the nerve, and thereby prevent the transmission of pain. The treatment is used for neck and low back pain, that is spinal pain, trigeminal neuralgia, and sacroiliac joint pain after diagnostic local anesthetic injections confirm that blocking specific nerves will reduce the pain.
