Facet joint RFT treatment is performed under local anesthesia. During the procedure, the doctor places a needle near the damaged facet joint surfaces. Then, high-frequency electric current is applied to the joint surfaces using electrodes. This electric current creates a heating effect on the joint surfaces, thus preventing the nerve endings from sending pain signals. Who can use facet joint RFT treatment? Facet joint RFT treatment should be performed by specialist doctors. This procedure is usually performed in pain management clinics. The doctor who will perform the procedure must have received the relevant training and have the necessary medical equipment while performing this procedure.

Facet joint RFT treatment is generally a safe procedure. However, some patients may experience a slight burning or sharp pain during the procedure. These side effects usually disappear quickly after the procedure is finished. In rare cases, more serious complications such as infection or bleeding may occur during the procedure.

Facet joint RFT treatment is an effective method for treating facet joint pain. The results of the procedure may vary depending on the patient's condition. In some patients, pain may be observed to decrease immediately, while in other patients the pain begins to decrease within a few days after the procedure. In some patients, it is observed that the pain disappears completely within a few weeks. Facet joint RFT treatment is a less invasive method than other pain treatment methods. Therefore, most patients can return to their normal activities quickly after the procedure. However, since each patient's situation is different, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations after the procedure. In conclusion, facet joint RFT treatment is an effective method for treating facet joint pain. Because a minimally invasive technique is used during the procedure, most patients can return to their normal activities quickly after the procedure. However, it is important that the doctor who will perform the procedure is experienced and has the necessary equipment. Additionally, following the doctor's recommendations before and after the procedure is also very important to prevent complications.
