Chronic hip and knee pain is one of the most common ailments of advanced age. Chronic pain doesn’t have to be met with surgery or medication. Patients deserve an option that’s minimally invasive, effective, and offers a short recovery. COOLIEF* Cooled Radiofrequency (RF) Treatment is now offered at North Oaks Pain Management Clinic in Hammond.
A patient’s journey to pain relief begins with speaking to a doctor who can properly assess his or her condition and determine if COOLIEF* is the right option. This minimally invasive, in-office treatment uses new technology to safely target the pain-causing nerves. This is also known as “cooled radiofrequency therapy.”
Dr. Jared M. Rochelle, with North Oaks Pain Management Clinic in Hammond, is a COOLIEF*-trained physician. Dr. Rochelle explains COOLIEF* provides various potential benefits such as improved mobility and physical function, quick recovery time and reduction in pain medicine. Unlike surgery, COOLIEF* involves no incision. Since this outpatient treatment requires no general anesthesia, patients should be able to return home shortly after the treatment, which takes less than an hour.
Patients should begin to feel pain relief within two to four weeks. In some patients, the relief can be relatively long-lasting. In others, additional treatments may be required. This procedure has also shown proven results for patients who may not be candidates for surgery or have had joint replacement, Dr. Rochelle adds.
