Edison, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/27/2016 -- The Freeman Spine and Pain Institute is pleased to announce that radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures are available to treat chronic neck or lower back pain. The Freeman Spine and Pain Institute is a medical practice that helps patients find relief from spine or joint pain and injuries by using cutting-edge treatment options and procedures. They operate of out of four offices in Union, NJ, Edison, NJ, Freehold, NJ, and Clifton, NJ.
Radiofrequency ablation is an innovative non-surgical procedure that entails using electrical currents produced by radio waves to heat up nerves in the patient's spine, which in turn decreases the amount of pain signals the brain sends to a specific area. Patients who undergo this treatment option will be administered a mild sedative and local anesthetic. The procedure can last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. Since it is non-surgical, it requires little downtime, and the patient may resume his or her daily activities a few days after. Last, but not least, any patient who opts for RFA will find relief from his or her pain within two weeks, with the most dramatic relief felt after a month.
The RFA procedures at the Freeman Spine and Pain Institute are performed by one of their board-certified physicians. Dr. Eric D. Freeman is the founder and director of the medical practice, and is board-certified in Pain Medicine and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. Dr. Philip Ceraulo is board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and is also double board-certified in the American Board of Pain Medicine.
The Freeman Spine and Pain Institute's goal has been, and always will be, to help every patient they see live a pain-free life.
