What We Treat

Dr. Parul Goel specializes in radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as an advanced and highly effective treatment option for managing chronic pain.

RFA involves the use of thermal energy to target and disrupt the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals, providing long-lasting relief.

Dr. Goel begins by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's medical history, symptoms, and physical examination to determine if RFA is a suitable treatment option. This thorough assessment allows her to identify the specific nerves causing the chronic pain.

During the RFA procedure, Dr. Goel uses her expertise and state-of-the-art technology to precisely locate the target nerves. Under image guidance, she inserts a specialized needle and delivers controlled heat energy to the nerves, creating a lesion that interrupts their ability to transmit pain signals.

The procedure is performed with the utmost care, ensuring patient comfort and safety. Local anesthetics and mild sedation may be used to minimize any potential discomfort or anxiety during the process.

Following RFA, patients typically experience gradual and significant pain reduction, lasting anywhere from several months to years. The treatment can provide considerable relief for conditions such as chronic back pain, neck pain, facet joint pain, and certain neuropathic pain syndromes.

Dr. Goel's patient-centered approach ensures that each RFA treatment is tailored to the unique needs of the individual. She takes the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, its potential benefits, and any associated risks or limitations.

With her expertise in radiofrequency ablation, Dr. Parul Goel has successfully helped numerous patients find long-term relief from chronic pain. Her commitment to delivering exceptional care and utilizing cutting-edge techniques makes her a trusted provider in the field of interventional pain management in Phoenix, AZ.
