Disc ablation, also known as radiofrequency disc ablation, usually causes little harm to the body after one year if proper care is taken. Radiofrequency disc ablation is a minimally invasive treatment. Under C-arm fluoroscopy, the needle is accurately positioned to the herniated disc, and the high temperature generated by the laser causes the herniated disc to degenerate, dehydrate, and atrophy, relieving the pressure on the spinal nerve roots. With proper care after the procedure, the body will show no effect after one year. Radiofrequency disc ablation has some limitations as it cannot ablate discs that have not yet herniated. If you continue to engage in heavy labor one year after the surgery, it is possible that the disc will continue to herniate outward one year after the surgery, resulting in a recurrence of the disease. It is recommended that patients follow the doctor’s instructions for strict care after surgery, have regular postoperative checkups, and refrain from heavy labor to avoid harm to the body.
