Radiofrequency is a minimally invasive technique that is used to relieve pain in chronic conditions, such as trigeminal neuralgia, low back pain, and fibromyalgia. Here, an electrical current is produced using radio waves, which is used to heat specific areas. This reduces the pain signals carried by the nerve endings from those areas.
