Can Nerve Ablation Relieve Chronic Pain Long Term?

For many patients—yes. While the nerves may eventually regenerate (often after 6 to 18 months), many experience significant relief during that window. If the pain returns, the procedure can often be safely repeated.

Long-term success depends on:

• The underlying cause of the pain
• Whether the correct nerves were targeted
• The patient’s overall rehab and wellness program

At Medici, we never rely on a single approach. Nerve ablation is usually one part of a multi-faceted, drug-free pain management plan tailored to preserve long-term function and mobility.
