Radiofrequency Ablation: My Personal Experience With a Life-Changing Procedure

Radiofrequency Ablation: My Personal Experience With a Life-Changing Procedure

By Dr. Yaron Lohr & the Team at Posture Perfect Wellness Center

As a doctor who has helped countless patients manage chronic pain, I’ve recommended radiofrequency ablation (RFA) many times. But what makes me believe in it even more is that I’ve gone through the procedure myself. Experiencing it firsthand gave me a deeper appreciation for just how powerful — and life-changing — this treatment can be.

What Is Radiofrequency Ablation?

Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to target and calm irritated nerves that are sending pain signals. Think of it as “turning down the volume” on the nerves causing pain in your spine or joints.

It’s commonly used for:

• Chronic back or neck pain

• Arthritis-related joint pain

• Facet joint pain in the spine

• Pain that hasn’t responded well to other conservative treatments

My Personal Journey With RFA

I’ve dedicated my career to helping others overcome pain — but I’ve experienced my own battles with back pain. After trying conservative measures, I decided it was time to undergo RFA myself.

The result? Immediate and lasting relief. The constant ache that once limited my movement and focus was gone. For me, it wasn’t just about being pain-free — it was about getting back to living without that weight dragging me down every day.

Why Patients Choose RFA

Here’s why RFA has become one of the go-to treatments we recommend at Posture Perfect Wellness Center:

• Quick recovery: Most patients go home the same day and return to normal activity within a couple of days.

• Long-lasting relief: Many experience pain reduction for 6–12 months, sometimes longer.

• Non-surgical: No incisions, no hospital stay, and fewer risks compared to surgery.

• Improved quality of life: Pain no longer dictates what you can and can’t do.

Pairing RFA With Whole-Body Care

While RFA can quiet nerve pain, long-term success comes from pairing it with a comprehensive plan. At our clinic, that means:

• Chiropractic care to restore alignment

• Physiotherapy to strengthen and stabilize the body

• Lifestyle changes (nutrition, posture, movement habits) to support healing

• Functional medicine to reduce inflammation and optimize overall health

The Bottom Line

Radiofrequency ablation isn’t just another procedure — it’s a game-changer. I know this not just as a doctor, but as a patient. If you’re living with chronic pain and feel like you’ve tried everything, RFA might be the solution that finally gives you your life back.
