Radiofrequency Ablation

Dr. Chapman performs bipolar, radiofrequency neuroablation procedures on four separate areas to alleviate facet-mediated lumbar pain associated with spondylosis. He explains the reason behind the procedure, its mechanism of action, and how long the pain relief is expected to last. During the entire procedure, fluoroscopic images show the placement of the RF needles as he explains the osseous landmarks.
