Hi Nemo 1, I'm Johnmacc. I looked into ablation therapy recently. My doc told me it's a heated rod inserted into the body that will likely deaden some nerves but only for months if at all. It also will leave scarring type lesions on your body but is often covered by insurance. It's called radio frequency ablation. The other one called pulsed radio frequency leaves no lesions but is not covered by insurance. Go figure.
