These neuritic disorders can be the result of injury, as well as changes in anatomy and/or patient lifestyle. Pain in the heel has been the most common complaint; however, many patients report pain near the toes, often due to compression between the metatarsal bones.

Types of Pain
Heel Pain	Pain near toes

Radiofrequency Therapy uses radiofrequency energy to disrupt nerve function, which in turn, interrupts pain signal transmission. No general anesthetic, incision, or sutures are required during Radiofrequency Therapy with a greater than 90% success rate after treatment.

A local anesthetic may be used to numb your skin after IV sedation. This procedure can be performed with or without sedation. The doctor will then insert a thin needle near the point of pain. Radiofrequency energy is then used to disrupt the problematic nerve.  The needling technique is often performed at more than one location along that nerve to ensure that the pain has been alleviated. Nerves regenerate after Radiofrequency Therapy, but how long this takes varies. Your pain may or may not return when the nerves regenerate in approximately 16~18 months. If it does, another Radiofrequency Therapy can be done.
