Under ultrasound, radiofrequency electrodes are placed adjacent to the nerves carrying pain signals from the joints such as the knee and shoulder. Heat is produced at the tip of the needle and to the nearby nerve. This interrupts the pain signals from getting to the brain and can provide long-lasting pain reduction from 6 months to 2 years.
