What Is Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation?
Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation (Cooled RFA) is a minimally invasive treatment used to relieve chronic pain in the knees and discomfort caused by varicose veins. It works by using radiofrequency energy to disrupt nerve function or treat damaged veins. What makes it unique is the use of a cooled electrode, which expands the treatment area while maintaining safety and comfort.
At Complete Medical Wellness, we offer cutting-edge Cooled RFA in NJ using image-guided precision and advanced pain management protocols.

Procedures
How Is Cooled RFA Performed?
The procedure is typically completed in 30–45 minutes as an outpatient visit and involves the following steps:
Preparation
You’ll lie comfortably on a treatment table. A local anesthetic is applied to numb the treatment site.
Electrode Insertion
Using fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray imaging), the physician inserts a special cooled radiofrequency electrode near the target nerve or vein.
Energy Delivery
The cooled electrode delivers radiofrequency energy, which disrupts the pain-signaling capability of the nerve or shrinks problematic vein walls. The controlled cooling allows a larger treatment area with minimal tissue damage.
Recovery
After a brief monitoring period, patients typically return home the same day.

- Long-lasting relief from joint or leg pain
- Reduced inflammation in the knees or veins
