What to Expect at Your First Prenatal Visit. If you did not meet with your health care provider before your were pregnant, your first prenatal visit will generally be around 8 weeks after your LMP (last menstrual period). If this applies to you, you should schedule a prenatal visit as soon as you know you are pregnant! Even if you are not a first time mother, prenatal visits are still important since every pregnancy is different. This initial visit will probably be one of the longest.
Radiofrequency facet denervation (RFD) is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure used to treat central neck or back pain caused by arthritis or injury to the facet joints. This procedure is also called lumbar radiofrequency neurotomy or radiofrequency rhizotomy.
What is Radiofrequency? Radiofrequency waves are electromagnetic waves which travel at the speed of light, or 186,000 miles per second (300,000 km/s). Radiofrequency Energy is a type of heat energy that is created by a special generator at very high or super high frequencies. With the use of this specialized generator, heat energy is created and delivered with precision to target nerves that carry pain impulses.
