Most pain management specialists have completed at least one year of training in all aspects of pain management after residency training. This is known as a fellowship.

When a physician has become board certified in their primary specialty and has completed an accredited fellowship, they become eligible for subspecialty board certification in pain management by the American Board of Anesthesiology, the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology or the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) uses heat to destroy targeted tissue. For pain management procedures, radiofrequency waves are transmitted through a carefully positioned needle to generate localized heat around select nerve fibers. This process effectively interrupts the transmission of pain signals to the brain, providing relief. RFA is a minimally invasive technique that offers patients an alternative to more extensive surgical interventions or long-term pharmacotherapy in properly selected cases.​ Learn more and find out if you're a candidate today https://posm.org/radiofrequency-ablation/!
