About Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) at RegenLife Centers
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) uses heat from a radiofrequency current to disrupt pain-carrying nerves — most commonly the medial branch nerves for facet joint arthritis, lateral branch nerves for SI joint pain, and genicular nerves for knee osteoarthritis. RegenLife's Edgewood team performs RFA under fluoroscopic guidance after a successful diagnostic medial branch block confirms the pain source. The procedure takes 30–45 minutes, is outpatient, and pain relief typically begins within 2–3 weeks and lasts 6–12+ months.

Frequently Asked Questions — Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) in Edgewood
Does RegenLife accept insurance for radiofrequency ablation in Edgewood?
Yes — most major insurance plans cover RFA at our Edgewood location when documented diagnostic blocks confirm the pain source. Pre-authorization is required. Call (859) 331-4159 to verify.
How long does relief from RFA last?
Most patients experience 6–12+ months of pain relief from RFA. Relief duration depends on how quickly the treated nerves regenerate, which varies by patient. The procedure can be repeated when symptoms return.
Is RFA painful?
The procedure is performed with local anesthetic, with optional mild IV sedation. Most patients tolerate it well. Mild soreness at the procedure site is common for a few days after.
How do I know if RFA will work for me?
RFA candidacy is confirmed by a diagnostic medial branch block (or lateral branch / genicular nerve block). If the diagnostic block significantly reduces pain temporarily, RFA is likely to provide longer-lasting relief. Our Edgewood team will outline the diagnostic step.
