Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please tell me what radiofrequency ablation is?Doctor's answer:
Radiofrequency ablation refers to the use of high-frequency oscillations of radio waves to produce a thermal effect on biological tissues. Through this thermal effect, it ablates intervertebral disc tissues, cervical intervertebral discs, lumbar intervertebral discs, and other tissues. It is widely used in the operation of intervertebral foraminoscopy, stopping bleeding points under arthroscopy, and performing synovial ablation, among other applications. Since this technology does not cause excessive damage to normal tissues, it is a commonly used physical therapy technique in clinical practice.
